Norwich July 1, 2025

Norwich based The UK Holiday Group were honoured to take part in a very special moment celebrating the next generation of talent in the travel and tourism industry.

On behalf of the UK Holiday Group, as part of our ongoing cooperation with Norwich City College – we had the pleasure of sponsoring and presenting the Level 3 Travel and Tourism Year 2 Student of the Year award at the 1st July awards dinner held at Dunston Hall Norwich.

The winner of this year’s award was Naiara Howard – a truly deserving student who has shown exceptional commitment, enthusiasm, and promise throughout her studies. As part of her recognition, Naiara received an Amazon gift voucher, along with a personalised trophy to commemorate her achievement.

Cheryl Barnard and Vanessa Forster both long standing employees from The UK Holiday Group enjoyed the event ‘It was a huge delight to see so many students achieving these results and we look forward to seeing the next generation of tourism students’ progress. It was a lovely mix of students, teachers and businesses within the local Norfolk Hospitality, Travel and Tourism industry.’

Award Level 3 Travel and Tourism Year 2 Student of the Year Naiara Howard.

‘A special thanks to Norwich City College – It was incredibly inspiring to see such passion and potential in the up and coming Tourism students we met. As a company dedicated to providing exceptional holiday experiences, we’re always thrilled to support and encourage future professionals who will help shape the industry we love’’.

Congratulations again to Naiara, and to all the students who have worked so hard this year.

The future of travel and tourism is looking bright for the Norwich area!
