Thorne collected the Business of the Year (less than 50 staff) award at the ceremony in Glasgow on Saturday night (16 September), which saw her efforts to innovate and foster a supportive and diverse workforce highlighted, as well as her work within the local community.
She told TTG: “When I received the email from the awards, I thought it was spam, but I replied saying ‘thank you very much’.
"I was very surprised because it was not a travel-specific award – customers and other businesses voted for us. It will be pretty nice to tell customers about our award.”
