Recognised by Industry Leaders

Following a competitive self-nomination process, winners were selected by an independent panel of respected industry figures, including:

** Professor Xavier Font, Professor of Sustainability Marketing, University of Surrey

** Eddy Leviten, Executive Director, Tourism Alliance

** Ian Taylor, Executive Editor, Travel Weekly

The judging panel highlighted Cashel Travel’s establishment of an Employee Ownership Trust and praised the company’s clear commitment to excellence across the business, supported by a culture that nurtures, motivates and empowers its team.

In an industry built on trust, delivery and human expertise, that culture matters.

Celebrating Excellence in UK Inbound Travel

The award was presented in front of more than 400 travel and tourism professionals during UKinbound’s Annual Convention 2025, held in Manchester.

The convention brought together senior leaders from across the UK travel trade and featured keynote contributions from Karen Blackett CBE and VisitBritain CEO Patricia Yates, alongside strategic market updates and B2B sessions shaping the future of the UK inbound sector.

To be recognised in this environment reflects not only operational capability, but strategic relevance within the evolving UK market.

Partnership, Ownership and Long-Term Vision

The establishment of an Employee Ownership Trust further strengthens Cashel Travel’s long-term stability and values-driven leadership — aligning commercial performance with team empowerment and sustainable growth.
