“We would like to congratulate Jonny on his third consecutive win at the itravel Awards, which is a testament to his incredible commitment, reliability, and partner‑first approach,” Wilkinson said.
“This truly is an exceptional achievement. The accolade recognises Jonny’s personal dedication and provides insight into nib Travel’s broad passion for delivering outstanding support to our partners, nationwide.”
