Lucketts Travel has been voted as the best coach operator in the country for group travel.

The firm, based in Fareham, picked up an award from Group Travel Organiser magazine after topping the reader poll.

Managing director of Lucketts Travel, Tony Lawman said: "We really do go the extra mile for groups, so we’re pleased that it’s been recognised with this award. It’s even more rewarding that we’ve been voted for by group travel organisers themselves."

While Lucketts is known for its holidays and day trips, group travel is a big part of its business.

The company provides coach travel for a variety of groups, from sports teams and schools to choirs and WI groups.

As well as organising coach travel, Lucketts can offer groups bespoke packages which include organising itineraries, tickets, accommodation and meals.

Lucketts has also celebrated the success of another award this month. It has been shortlisted in the Best Use of Technology category of the South Coast Business Awards.
