Brightsun Travel has been awarded The King’s Award for Enterprise for International Trade, one of the UK’s most prestigious business honours, in recognition of its international growth.
The travel firm has achieved steep turnover growth in the last three years, despite a volatile global economic and political climate, as well as widespread travel disruption in the aftermath of the pandemic.
“This prestigious accolade is a testament to our team’s passion, dedication, and commitment to delivering exceptional travel experiences to our customers,” said Deepak Nangla, Managing Director at Brightsun Travel.
“At Brightsun, we connect people with unforgettable destinations and take great pride in promoting the UK’s excellence in travel and tourism on an international scale.
This award recognises our decades of contributions to the UK economy, the trust of our valued customers, and the strong partnerships we’ve built both domestically and globally, reaffirming the UK’s excellence in travel and tourism globally.”
The King’s Awards for Enterprise, established in 1965 and renamed in 2023, celebrate outstanding UK businesses demonstrating excellence in international trade, innovation, sustainable development, and promoting opportunity through social mobility.
Winners of The King’s Awards for Enterprise are reviewed carefully by the Government, with final recommendations approved by the Prime Minister before being formally granted by His Majesty The King.
Brightsun’s was established in a small office in Soho with a husband-and-wife team, one staff member and a single typewriter.
Next year will mark the company’s 40th anniversary.
The company anticipates that the King’s Award will further strengthen Brightsun’s reputation, enhance its appeal to international partners, and open doors to new commercial opportunities, including investment, joint ventures, and market expansion.
