Award-winning travel agency has been shortlisted for a major award.

The company, with branches in Helmsley and Boroughbridge, has been named by the British Travel Awards (BTA) as one of the contestants for the Best Small Travel Retailer 2012.

Spear Travels has already bagged a prize earlier this year as the UK Principal’s Regional Agent of the Year for Yorkshire, Midlands and North East England in the Small Agent category.

The travel agency is the fastest growing in Yorkshire and has branches in seven locations nationwide.

The public will vote for the winners who will be announced on November 1 at the Battersea Evolution, London, where the BTA’s will take place.
