Diane Poole OBE, Stena Line’s Travel Commercial Manager – Irish Sea South accepted the award on behalf of the company commenting: “We are thrilled to have been voted Best Ferry Company in Ireland at the Travel Media Awards. Journalists play a key role in communicating what options are available to Irish holidaymakers and in such a competitive environment it is fantastic to know they hold Stena Line in such a high regard.
“What makes this award an even bigger achievement for us is the fact that a lot of the media have travelled with us over the years so they have voted knowing the service we provide our customers on the Irish Sea. We are thrilled at their confidence in us and I would like to thank them for their ongoing support.
“It is a busy time for Stena Line and we are looking to sailing into the peak summer season and showing our customers the reasons why the Irish journalists have voted us Ferry Company of the Year,” Diane added.
