We are only partly into the third day of the 2010 World Travel Market and it has already been a great year at the show for Sixt.

Having won a number of travel related awards over the past few weeks, we were delighted to be informed yesterday that we have won the award for best stand personnel.

There are a number of exhibitor awards given out each year and on the first day of the show, a panel of judges walk around the exhibition and grade the stands based on various criteria. Other awards up for grabs this year included best stand design, best feature and best stand for doing business on.

As a company who pride ourselves on excellent customer interaction, it was especially gratifying to win the personnel award and, having worked on the stand myself, I can testify that it was well earned and the whole team are doing a fantastic job!

The criteria upon which this particular award is based are as follows:

■ Cohesion in approach from all team members

■ Attentive and enthusiastic staff

■ Good knowledge of product/services being promoted

■ Good face-to-face contact with visitors

■ Encouragement onto the stand, with staff engaging with passing traffic

■ Polite and well-presented staff

Well done team Sixt! We know that you will carry these high standards right through to the end of the show.
