CWT Once Again Named 'Best TMC' at Business Travel Awards

Carlson Wagonlit Travel (CWT) UK & Ireland was named 'Best Travel Management Company (more than 250,000 UK transactions annually)' for the second consecutive year at the 2011 Business Travel Awards at the Grosvenor House in London.

The Business Travel Awards, the "Oscars" of the UK corporate travel sector, are judged by an industry panel of corporate travel buyers and business travel journalists. The panel noted CWT's high client retention, exceptional response to the ash cloud and other operational challenges of 2010, and focus on the future.

"Winning ‘Best TMC' for the past three out of four years reflects the dedication of every person within CWT to provide the best service for our clients," said Andrew Waller, executive vice president, CWT UK & Ireland.

CWT was also highly commended for ‘Best Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Programme' and shortlisted with the Home Office for ‘Travel Team of the Year'.

The David Brown Outstanding Achievement Award, sponsored by CWT, was awarded to Willie Walsh, chief executive of International Consolidated Airlines Group (IAG), for his leadership of British Airways.
