MILES Morgan Travel has been crowned ‘the best travel agent in the South West and Wales’ for the fourth year running and the sixth in total.

The annual award is voted for by holiday companies, airlines and tourist boards and recognises the professionalism, marketing and sales produced by travel agencies.

Miles Morgan, managing director of the company, which has branches in Nailsworth, Cirencester and Malmesbury said: “I could not be prouder to receive this award.

“We currently have 15 shops and beat off some stiff competition, so this is an amazing achievement. My staff do a fantastic job and to see their efforts rewarded with this prestigious award is wonderful.”

Hayley Peachey, who manages the Nailsworth branch said: “It is always nice to receive an award and this one is very special.

"This is the award that all travel agents aspire to winning, therefore to take the crown is a proud moment for us."

Started in 2006, Miles Morgan Travel has 15 shops throughout the West country and Wales and will shortly open its 16th shop in Devizes.

It specialises in faraway, tailor made, escorted touring, river and ocean cruise holidays.
