GALILEO'S GOLD AWARD FROM GOLD MEDAL On Friduy 30th June, at Gold Medai's annual Trade Award event, Galileo UK was presented with a Gold Award for the provision of OUTSTANDING SUPPORT throughout this last year. This is the second time that this award has been made to Galileo UK, and it is an excellent endorsement of the levels of support we provide to our
major clients. I would like to thank all
the individuals involved with this account for all their efforts. For those of you who may not know much about Gold Medal Travel, they started in business some 10 years ago trading as Kingsgate Travel and in the first year had a turnover of L4m selling the Orient Magic range of tours. As a company they have always
been innovative in their use of technology and especially their links to Galileo. In the last three years they
have developed very sophisticated interfaces between their in-house systems and Galileo using Tourlink, EROS, automated ticketing processes and now Inside Access.
This investment in technology has been one of the k.y factors in their rapid and successful growth into the flight wholesale market, in addition to
the tours products, resulting in turnove
