A Wrexham business that’s been serving customers for 60 years has scooped a top national travel industry award.
Delmar World, based on Chester Road in Gresford, first opened its doors way back in 1964.
Fast-forward to 2025, and managing director Ann Anglesea and her brother Howard continue to guide the family business along the path of success – with Delmar recently being named winner of this year’s TTG Luxury Travel Awards.
The awards are hugely respected in the industry, and look at how businesses take care of their customers and employees, and their knowledge and commitment to the places where they send their customers on holiday.
Delmar beat off stiff competition from hundreds of other travel agents across the UK, and were presented with their award at a glittering ceremony in London recently.
Last week Councillor Nigel Williams, Wrexham Council’s Lead Member for Economy, Business and Tourism, popped in to meet Ann and the team.
Councillor Williams said: “Sixty years is a huge milestone, and what better way to celebrate than by winning a prestigious national award?
“Delmar World is a fantastic local business that continues to thrive and grow – underlining the fact that Wrexham is a great place to do business.
“It’s so important that we support local enterprises and it was wonderful to meet Ann and the team, and to listen to their plans for the future. I hope they continue to enjoy every success.”
Ann said: “Having grown up with the family business, I’m so proud that my brother Howard and I are celebrating its 60th year in the travel industry.
“Together we’ve not only grown the business, but we’ve kept the same values and ethos from when it started in 1964.
“Many of our customers remember our early days and their children and grandchildren are booking their worldwide adventures with us today, which means the world to us!
“Winning this national award is the big one for us. We have so much to offer in the luxury holiday arena and are glad we’ve been recognised for our hard work. However, we also offer great value holidays too!”
Wrexham Council provides a range of services to support businesses based in the county borough, as well as businesses looking to start up or locate to Wrexham.
