Sponsored by Gail Kenny Executive Search, Malta Tourism Authority and Teletext Holidays and hosted by travel journalist Simon Calder, the event raised enough to give around 10 families in need the chance to enjoy a break away by the sea.
After a close battle for the trophy, Hotels.com’s ‘Wake up happy!’ team won in a tie-break from Hills Balfour Synergy’s ‘Snow Chance’.
They were closely followed by Titan Travel’s ‘The Titanics’ in third place, who won a playoff with ‘The Quattro Formaggi’ from Hextalls LLP.
