Virgin Limited Edition is thrilled to announce that the winning agency of its 'Best Dressed' window competition is Symphony World Travel. Agents were asked to come up with window displays using a merchandising kit and their own props and creative flair to promote the Virgin Limited Edition portfolio.

Karen Moth, Travel Consultant at the Kingswood branch of Symphony World Travel commented: "We're really excited that we've won the competition. We always try to make our windows eye-catching and creative. It does draw customers into the agency. Themed windows seem to work better than piles of window stickers showing offers!"

The prize for the window dressing competition is a luxury three night stay at The Lodge a Swiss mountain retreat in Verbier - during summer 2014.

Judging the shortlist was Lucy Huxley, Editor-in-Chief of Travel Weekly Group, who commented: "I knew Travel Weekly readers were creative, but I was blown away by the windows they decorated for this competition - simply stunning. They certainly didn't make life easy for me as a judge! Karen Moth of Symphony World Travel edged ahead with two beautifully designed but contrasting windows showcasing two fabulous properties.

"It's great to see Virgin Limited Edition working with the trade in such an innovative way, and I'm sure Karen can't wait to redeem her prize and experience the brand's signature luxury with a stay at its Verbier mountain retreat - The Lodge." 

Virgin Limited Edition's Regional Director of Sales for UK and Europe, Natalie Odenbreit said: "We held this competition last year and it was a fantastic success and I'm pleased to say that this year was no different. It's a great way to inspire agents to engage their existing customers and potential clients with a little creative flair. We're thrilled with all the entries; the effort that has gone into them has been incredible and we want to thank all those who took part.

For the agencies that entered but didn't win Virgin Limited Edition will be offering each agency 4 tickets to a pre-club night at The Roof Gardens before the 1st of April on a Friday or Saturday evening.
