TravelManagers conference ends on awards high
By admin


TravelManagers’ 2014 national conference ended on a high with its top performing and most improved personal travel managers recognised for their outstanding performances at an awards ceremony in Singapore on Sunday.

Executive general manager Michael Gazal thanked the entire team for their continued hard work, dedication and commitment which have resulted in another record year for the home-based firm.

“I couldn’t be more proud of our people,” he said. “The client is always top of mind and at the centre of everything we do and these awards are in celebration of our top achievers.”

The awards were handed out at the Stamford Ballroom at the Swissotel the Stamford in Singapore.

Personal Travel Manager of the Year John Gazal was unable to attend this year’s conference but said he was "honoured and humbled" by the award.

“Winning this award means so much to me," he said. "My focus on service and genuinely looking out for what is in my clients’ best interests has really paid dividends with my business going from strength to strength this year."
