Andover is celebrating a major local success story as Designer Travel, a national travel agency run by two women, has secured two prestigious national awards in just one week.
The achievement shines a spotlight not only on the company’s excellence, but also on Andover’s own local representative, Kirsty, who brings this award‑winning expertise directly to the community.
At the Travel Agent Achievement Awards in London, Designer Travel was named National Homeworking Agency – Medium, recognising the company’s outstanding service, innovation and dedication to clients across the UK.
Just days later, the agency also won the Exsus Travel Award for Top Agency Group, a national accolade celebrating exceptional performance and expertise within the travel industry.
Kirsty, Andover’s local travel agent and proud member of the female‑led Designer Travel team, said: “Creating experiences for people is an absolute joy. Being able to bring peoples travel dreams to life is incredibly rewarding, but getting recognised nationally is incredible. The company is run by two amazing women who inspire us every day, and I’m proud to represent Designer Travel here in Andover.
Designer Travel Owners Karen and Amanda said “These awards are a testament to the passion, expertise and dedication of our incredible team. To see the business recognised nationally twice in one week is just incredible. Our team goes above and beyond to create unforgettable holidays, and I’m thrilled to share this success with our dream team.”
Designer Travel continues to grow its reputation as a trusted, award‑winning agency offering personalised service, expert knowledge and a genuine love for crafting memorable journeys. This double win marks a significant moment not just for the business, but for Andover’s thriving local community.
