Serviced apartment provider BridgeStreet Worldwide has won the 2009 Gold Award in the category of Best Serviced Apartment Company at the Buying Business Travel Awards, organised by Buying Business Travel magazine.

Winners are selected annually by a panel of travel industry specialists and a variety of travel buyers representing the broad spectrum of travel sectors, with each candidate rated in a variety of categories.

Jo Layton, vice president sales and marketing for BridgeStreet’s EMEA region, notes that the company has the largest inventory of serviced apartments in the UK, with accommodations in more than 50 locations. “In 2008, we opened our prestigious property in Jersey, and we will continue our exponential growth within the UK and internationally in 2009 with the addition of new properties in Liverpool, Budapest, Dubai and Doha. We are also expanding throughout Britain and the European Union through the BridgeStreet Global Alliance, a network of selectively recruited serviced apartment providers that meet our stringent quality assurance metrics and operational standards.”

BridgeStreet Worldwide’s award was presented at the magazine’s annual Awards Ball at London’s Hurlingham Club.
