Peacock Travels and Tours, a subsidiary of Peacock Group of Companies, has won the London-based Acquisition Magazine’s ‘Sustained Excellence in Corporate Travel 2014’ award.
According to a statement from London office of the travel firm, the award presentation was done by Jane Boulton, the Mayor of London Borough of Richmond.
The travel management company said the Mayor presented the award to it during the opening of its new office complex in King Street, Twickenham in London.
While presenting the award, Boulton was quoted as remarking that “This award is a result of the hard work of Peacock Travel staff.”
She expressed happiness for having a forward-looking establishment like Peacock in her Borough and pledged her support at all times.
Peacock Travels’ office was formerly in north-east London (Hackney). However, the need to fulfil its expansion plans, including imminent commencement of tour services to North Cyprus, made the firm to move its operations to High Street.
Keith Lloyd, travel manager, Peacock, assured that the travel firm would continue to maintain the high level of service the company had been known for.
“We want to be a travel agency that is unique and that has utmost concern for its client, unlike online bookers,” he added.
Lloyd noted that the award was based strictly on review and votes by industry practitioners in the UK as well as the evaluative research always carried out by the awarding magazine.
Segun Phillips, executive chairman, Peacock Group, said that the award was dedicated to the glory of God and the entire customers of the company worldwide.
He said the gesture was a testimony of the world class service that had been the trade mark of Peacock Travels, both within and outside the shores of Nigeria.
According to him: “For a subsidiary of the company to win such a reputable award in the United Kingdom, it means the core value of the company in rendering qualitative and unparalleled service will continue to be maintained to the joyous satisfaction of our local and international customers.”
Peacock Travel is an international company with offices on the African continent and has been in existence since 1997. It began operation in the UK in 2012. The firm is respected in the British travel industry.
