Classic Collection Holidays will host its first ever awards ceremony for its top travel agents.

The Classic Awards will be held at the Forest of Arden Marriott Hotel & Country Club, near Birmingham, on Thursday 2 December. 

Guest speaker for the event is Sir Lee Pearson, the 14 times Paralympic Games gold medallist who has represented British para-equestrianism in Sydney, Athens, Beijing, London, Rio and Tokyo.

Si Morris-Green, Classic Director of Agency Sales and Marketing, said: “After a tough year for everyone involved in travel, we would like to recognize and reward our top agent partners by inviting them to The Classic Awards.

“We’ve selected a great venue in a superbly central location to give as many as our trade partners from all over the UK the chance to attend. 

“The evening awards ceremony will be preceded by a full day of business updates, sharing our future plans, and networking opportunities with our overseas’ suppliers.

“As part of the fun, engaging events and entertainment that we have planned, we’re delighted that Sir Lee Pearson, one of our most recognisable and inspirational Paralympians, is able to join us.’

The operator plans to have up to 120 agent partners at the event.
