World Duty Free Group’s Annual Awards recognise the teams and individuals at Leeds Bradford Airport
World Duty Free Group (WDFG) operates the tax and duty free store at Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA). Each year, the travel retailer hosts its own Awards event, to recognise outstanding achievements at both an individual and store level, across its UK operations and winners were announced at its Airport Partner Conference at the end of November.
To select the Award winners, a WDFG Steering Group Committee reviews all nominations, judging them on various criteria including the highest overall commercial return, outstanding front of store activity, joint activity with Airport Partners, Destination Targeting initiatives and greatest KPI achievements.
The World Duty Free store at Leeds Bradford won ‘Terminal of the Year’ in the ‘Small Store Category’ and also the award for ‘Manager of the Year’. This coveted award went to World Duty Free store manager Steve Jones, in recognition of his passion, commitment and innovative approach. Steve consistently delivered great sales results and demonstrated a real drive to improve staff engagement, as well as fostering great relationships with the Leeds Bradford team.
Speaking about the Awards Mark Sowerby, Head of Retail Operations at WDFG said, “The dedication and passion demonstrated by all the award entrants this year was sensational and events like this give us an important opportunity to recognise great achievements and celebrate success. Particular congratulations go to the team at LBA and store manager Steve Jones – the team’s drive, innovation and achievements are a great example for us all and their awards are extremely well deserved”.
Tony Hallwood, Leeds Bradford Airport’s Aviation Development & Marketing Director, said: “I am delighted that the World Duty Free store at Leeds Bradford has been recognised as ‘Terminal of the Year’ in its category. It’s important for us to offer passengers fantastic pre-flight facilities and World Duty Free is testament to that. Congratulations to the store manager Steve Jones who not only heads up the best store but was also awarded ‘Manager of the Year’ for the fantastic job that he does.”
