Event Exeter has won a silver award in the Business Tourism category of the South West Tourism Excellence awards.
The awards celebrate the ‘Best in the South West’ and aim to promote and reward the leading businesses in the tourism industry.

She added, “Achieving such high recognition during the brand’s infancy is testament to the Event Exeter team’s success and hard work. I am particularly pleased as this award coupled with achieving Investors In People, Customer First and Hospitality Assured, firmly puts Event Exeter at the forefront of business excellence in the region.”
High standards in customer service, accessibility, sustainability, recycling and care for the environment were demonstrated to the judges of the South West Tourism Excellence awards.
