Real Journeys Chief Executive Richard Lauder says he is delighted the company is so popular.
“A huge thanks to all our customers who took the time to vote for us, we really appreciate your support. We put the word
out on social media and the response was overwhelming. A big shout out too - to our staff who work hard every day to
make our experiences remarkable,” says Richard
