CENTER Parcs was named as the Best UK Holiday Provider for the thirteenth time at the annual Tommy’s Awards, which took place on March 11 at the Landmark Hotel in London.

The Tommy’s Awards recognise and celebrate the best family-friendly companies that help make the lives of parents and parents-to-be that little bit easier. From a shortlist of five, Center Parcs received the most votes.

This year 44,688 votes were cast on Bounty, the pregnancy and parenting website, double the amount of votes received last year. The awards are nominated and voted for by the public, in categories ranging from Best Holiday Provider to Best Skincare Product for Mums.

Helen Horner, Center Parcs' Head of Brand, said: “We are delighted that parents have again named us their Best UK Holiday Provider in the Tommy’s Awards.

“Quality family time is at the very heart of what we do and we strive to be the best at giving parents protected time with their children from when they are tiny babies right up to when they become taller teenagers. It’s great to be recognised in this way and we’d like to thank everyone who voted for us.”

All the winners were announced at an awards ceremony at the Landmark Hotel, London presented by TV and radio presenter Katy Hill.

Jane Brewin, CEO of Tommy’s, said: "Being a mum-to-be or parent is tough and we believe it is important to express our gratitude to those companies who go the extra mile for families. All the companies, both the shortlisted and winners do that.”

Now in its 21st year, the Tommy’s Awards recognise heroes of families who’ve have been touched by pregnancy complications, or the loss of a baby. Each year in the UK, one in four parents lose a baby through miscarriage, stillbirth and premature birth.
