Absolute took a trip down to London town recently to attend the prestigious Travolution Awards, where we rubbed shoulders with some of the big players in the travel business. Not only did we have a good night out, we scooped the award for “Best Web Design Agency” for the re-design of Cumbria Tourism\'s main online portal www.golakes.co.uk where we collaborated with digital provider NVG.

The event is held at the iconic Roundhouse in London and was attended by over 500 guests. The awards were judged by a panel of 12 leading travel marketing dignitaries such as Chris Roe from Virgin Holidays, Paul Simmons from EasyJet, Sarah Hanan from Cheapflights and Lee Hayhurst, Editor of Travolution Magazine.

Absolute Media Managing Director Chris Hodgen said “It was a great night and I honestly didn’t think we would win. We were up against some really big agencies with big budgets and we are just a small passionate team from Up North. So it was a great surprise to know that our company’s work has been recognised in such a high profile awards ceremony.”

The awards were hosted by BBC Radio 2’s Mark Radcliffe who was very pleased that the main award was going back up the M6 to the North West!
