An Abingdon-based travel agency has received a top trade award from Tourism Malaysia, the country's national tourist board.

Lunn Poly, in Bury Street, beat off strong UK competition to win best multiple travel agent after impressing judges with their commitment to promoting the south east Asian country.

Donna Nobes, Abingdon office manager, said: "We're very proud to receive this award. Rather than just sell holidays, we always try to help customers find the destination most suited to their preferences.

"We're all delighted to be given such high profile recognition for our efforts."

In addition to a commemorative trophy, staff won a £1,000 prize to put towards staff training to develop their knowledge of Malaysia.
