A FASTgrowing Bradford-based company is bidding to become the public's favourite firm and is also in the running for a top European award.

Travel management company Redfern is a finalist for business of the year in the European Business Awards after being named a national champion.

A separate public vote will determine who wins an additional “people’s” award.

Redfern, which provides innovative travel management services to 500 clients in the public and private sector, is competing to be named European Public Champion and is urging people to vote for it before February 26.

The public champion winner will be announced on March 7 and Redfern is competing against 32 other European national champions to win the title.

Mark Bowers, Redfern chief executive, said: “It would be great if our customers could watch our short video and vote. A vote by the public means a great deal and as a people-focused organisation, we love to hear what our customers think.”
