A TROWBRIDGE travel consultant was celebrating this week after being named Travel Consultant of the Year for the South West and Wales.

The award was presented to Gill Hartigan, who works for Howard Travel in Trowbridge, by Travel Weekly, the leading industry newspaper at a special awards ceremony dinner.

Gill's success in helping to set up a specialist Weddings and Honeymoons abroad division of Howard Travel was part of the reason for her gaining the award.

Gill, who lives in Trowbridge, said she was absolutely delighted to have won the award and wanted to thank her colleagues for all their support.

"We work as a team in Howard Travel and without the cooperation of the rest of the staff I would not have been able to have achieved so much and therefore win this award," said Gill.

Managing Director Howard Edgington said that he too was delighted and added that Gill really deserved to win because of all the dedicated hard work she puts into ensuring her customers have great holidays.

'Gill has been an integral part of our team in Trowbridge for 14 years and is so popular with our clients."

Howard Travel has won a number of top awards over the past few years, including being voted Best UK Travel Agent for two years running by the Sunday Times.

The company, which was started nineteen years ago by Howard Edgington is based in Church Walk, Trowbridge and employs more than 20 people.
