Stuart Reid, Chief Executive of the Isles of Scilly Steamship Group, said “We are delighted to be the headline sponsor of the Cornwall Tourism Awards. The awards are a major event in the calendar for Cornish businesses, so what better way for us to show our commitment to the local economy than by supporting this event. We are looking forward to seeing Cornish businesses in the spotlight, especially those which play such a significant role in the vital tourism industry. It’s one of the ways we are giving something back to the community we are so proud to be part of.”
