The winner of the "ultimate Virgin travel prize" at the Travel Industry Awards by TTG at Magazine London on 30 September has been named as Jill Jones of World Travel Lounge.
Jill’s name was picked in an independently witnessed prize draw at the TTG offices this week, following donations to the Abta Lifeline/TTG Media Get Travel Talking Champions campaign from attendees at the event.
More than £3,000 has been raised to date for the campaign, which will fund mental health first aiders among independent travel agents, giving them the skills to support colleagues and industry peers as we emerge from the Covid crisis.
Jill, operations manager at World Travel Lounge in Blackpool, wins premium economy flights on the Virgin Atlantic network, a Virgin Voyages cruise and a stay at a Virgin Hotel.
Abta LifeLine director Trudie Clements said: “I would like to say thank you both to everyone that has donated to this important campaign, and to those wanting to be involved in establishing a network of mental health champions across our industry; people who can provide peer-to-peer support when its needed most.”
