Matthew Griffin,  Department for Work and Pensions - 2011 Winner of Best Travel Policy Compliance Programme

"The organisation of the entry process was superb and easy to enter, followed by a great awards evening in a brilliant location."

Mike Thomsett, Tesco Corporate Purchasing - 2010 Winner of National Travel Buyer of the Year and Best Innovation in a Meetings Programme (SMMP)

"The ETB Awards were and continue to be a unique opportunity to gain recognition for the combination of excellence in the travel industry and better procurement practice. Control in the travel industry can often be received in a negative way; the recognition through the awards created a far more accommodating environment as they were labelled best practice."

Marijke Poppink, Reed Elsevier - 2010 Winner of Best use of Technology in a Travel Programme

"Winning the ETBA award for Best use of Technology in a Travel Programme helped me to get the internal recognition I needed to help me implement the tool on a larger scale. One year after winning the award this tool was chosen as the preferred tool to be implemented for all our divisions in the UK. It also gave me recognition on a wider, global scale as I was invited to speak at different conferences. It feels very good after all the hard work to be rewarded like this."

Jafles Fernandes Pacheco, Head of Global Travel for OC Oerlikon - 2011 Judge

"The ETB Awards is a great opportunity for travel professionals to stand out of the crowd and boost their careers in this dynamic business travel world"

Dennis Bailey - 2011 Judge
