Annabel Cove, Business Development Manager, DoSomethingDifferent.com, was “very surprised and absolutely thrilled” last night when she was presented with Travel Counsellors Ireland’s Business Partner of the Year Award by Cathy Burke, General Manager, at the TCI ‘Switch On’ conference at the Lyrath Estate Hotel in Kilkenny.
