TravelManagers’ team of state-based Business Partnership Managers (BPMs) employed a tasty way to express their appreciation for partner suppliers, hosting a series of “appreciation lunches” at Greek restaurants in Adelaide, Perth, Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney throughout June.
The lunches were held to thank partner suppliers for their continued support of TravelManagers. Many who attended expressed their delight and gratitude at being able to get together to network and share information over fabulous food.
Charlie Ridout of Travel Loop was among the suppliers who attended the Sydney lunch, and echoed the sentiments expressed by many of his fellow lunch guests: “it was a great industry get-together and confirmation of how important TravelManagers is to all of us. It was so good that so many people attended, despite everyone being flat-out busy.”
“Thank you for such a lovely lunch, I truly felt appreciated,” agreed Samantha Tamba of Collette, who attended the Brisbane lunch event.
“We absolutely treasure our partnership and all your support.”
Alex Fayan from Aurora Expeditions also attended the Sydney lunch said: “Thank you all for hosting and spoiling us last Friday. It was very much appreciated to feel appreciated! Excellent venue, food, drinks and of course company. It was a fantastic event, and I can’t wait to work more closely with you all and your lovely agents.”
