WORCESTERSHIRE-based presentation and communication specialist drpgroup celebrated a double win at the recent Eventia International Awards.

The company, from Hartlebury, was a finalist in four categories, winning the best celebratory event and being runner-up in best short haul conference. It was also listed in agency of the year and best use of a venue.

The awards were based on drpgroup's work for Thomas Cook in the Spirit of Thomas Cook event in Turkey. Judges looked at examples of impact, creative thinking, logistical expertise and maximum appeal to the target audience.

The drpgroup also received a string of award nominations in 2007, three of which they went on to win. It was nominated for awards from IVCA Livecom, Meetings and Incentives Travel and Visit London. The Visit London awards showcase the best offerings in business and leisure tourism throughout London and drpgroup was shortlisted for Business Event of the Year for its work on the National Express Group leadership conference.

Meetings and Incentives Travel launched the Meetings Industry Marketing Awards to raise the standards of marketing in the meetings industry, and to recognise excellence. The drpgroup was nominated in the best live marketing event category and won bronze award for its work with National Express. The celebrations didn't stop there however, as drp went on to win another award in the same category - a silver award for its work on the Spirit of Thomas Cook event.
