in as many months.
Press
Release Body: Stena Line, the leading ferry company,
is celebrating another successful awards win after scooping the
'Best Ferry Company' title at the Scottish Passenger
Awards, held at the Glasgow Hilton Hotel.
The
win at the SPAA event, which was attended by 600 industry professionals
from all over the UK, follows the company's success at the at
Northern Ireland Travel and Tourism Awards last month, where Stena
Line walked away with the 'Best Ferry/Shipping
Company' accolade for a record sixteenth time.
The
continued success of the Belfast
to Stranraer ferry route marks the end of a busy year for
Stena Line, one which saw the opening of a new
state of the art passenger terminal in Belfast and continued discussion
with regards to the building of a new Scottish port at Old House
Point near Cairnryan.
Stena
Line's Route Manager, Paul Grant, is delighted at the
company's double awards win.
"As
always, it was very satisfying to take home the 'Best Ferry/Shipping
Company' award from the recent NI Travel News event but to also
come away with the equivalent accolade from the Scottish Passenger
Association Awards is a real bonus after what has been an extremely
busy year for Stena Line on the Belfast - Stranraer route,"
Paul said.
"All
our staff in every area of the business put in a tremendous effort
to ensure that we have maintained the highest possible standards
of customer care throughout a very a exciting year for Stena Line
that has seen the opening of our fantastic new facility in Belfast
and the refit of the Stena Line HSS," continued Paul.
"We are very proud of the quality of service we provide and
it is wonderful to see our hard work recognised on both sides
of the Irish Sea. I would like to thank all those who voted for
Stena Line on both occasions," he added.
