To take bronze in the "Best UK Convention Bureau" category is fantastic, especially since it means that a great number of our clients voted for us. Then to find out, two days later, that we had also won "Best UK destination" for the second year running, was amazing. We work very closely with our partners and venues to raise the profile of Yorkshire South as a business tourism destination, so, to be recognised by the event buyers for our hard work and the industry makes it all worthwhile.
