Great Rail Journeys, the UK's market leading tour operator for escorted holidays by rail has scooped two prestigious prizes at The Press Business Awards, one of Yorkshire's premier award ceremonies.
The glittering event, which took place at York Racecourse on Thursday evening, seeks to recognise business success within the region and reward exceptional performance.
Great Rail Journeys was in a celebratory mood after clinching the 'Growth Business of the Year' title and then adding the event's ultimate accolade, 'The John Guy Memorial Award for Business of the Year'.
Judges were hugely impressed with how in the past two years the tour operator's offerings had more than doubled, from 63 itineraries to over 130, responding to the growing demand for escorted holidays by rail. During the last financial year turnover has soared by 17% to more than £50 million, whilst passenger numbers broke 35,000 for the first time.
