HeadBox Celebrates Double Win at the 30th Business Travel Awards Europe

Driving Change for Corporate Event Bookers

This recognition is particularly meaningful because it underscores what HeadBox stands for – helping corporate event bookers do more with less through intelligent, sustainable innovation. Rather than focusing on technology for technology’s sake, our tools are designed to empower people – combining data, AI and insight with the expertise of our Events team to create better outcomes for our customers.

As Grace Louisy, Managing Director, put it:

"The Business Travel Awards Europe is the biggest night of the year in our industry. 18 months ago, we set ourselves a goal of winning a Business Travel Award, and since then, every strategy has been building up to this moment. 

If I were to think about why we won, it’s simple: we have a brilliant team, we’re proud of our technology and we love our customers. When you believe in your mission, your passion and determination shine through, and ultimately, people want to come on the journey with you.

On the night (and every day since), I was overwhelmed by the congratulations we received from corporate Travel Managers, suppliers, venues and industry leaders. When you’ve worked so hard for ten years to disrupt this industry, people are delighted for you when you finally break through."

And Andrew Needham, HeadBox Founder and CEO, added:

“This double win highlights the progress we’ve made in bringing innovation and sustainability to the forefront of event planning. I’m immensely proud of our team and our clients, who continue to push boundaries with us. This recognition motivates us to go even further.

Achieving this in our 10th year as we scale internationally, having recently won our first mandated $2bn turnover global customer spanning EMEA, APAC and the US is a dream come true and real message to the industry. Our vision to transform the global meetings and events industry through technology is becoming reality!”
