Walshe Group named Best International Partner by Eurostar
11 May 2009
The Walshe Group is pleased to announce that it has won the Best International Partner Award at the prestigious Eurostar Sales Awards 2009.
Held April 30 2009, at the spectacular East Wintergarden in Canary Wharf, London, the award recognises the Walshe Group’s success in achieving 100% growth in sales revenue for the Eurostar brand in Australia and New Zealand during the first 12 months of its appointment.
Up against strong competition from other leading travel partners, the Walshe Group was also applauded for the extent of the media coverage it achieved for Eurostar during that period.
The Eurostar international high-speed passenger train service featured in all trade and consumer publications in the region, leading up to and following the launch of High Speed 1, the UK’s first high-speed line.
Walshe Group CEO Jacqui Walshe, says: “The company is extremely pleased to receive this award, which demonstrates our commitment to further increasing the strength of the Eurostar brand in the Australasian marketplace.”
In addition at the Eurostar Sales Awards 2009, Maison de la France - Australia, the local French tourist bureau in Australia, was nominated for an award in the Outstanding Partnership category – a category which recognises skill in strengthening the Eurostar product and brand.
Ends.
