Iglu Ski Take Home New Award

In a glittering ceremony in Victoria Warehouse, Manchester on Thursday April 23rd, 2026, Iglu won 2026 Travel Trade Gazette Top Ski/Snowsports Agency

Iglu.com CEO David Gooch said, ‘I am so proud of the entire Iglu team. The last 12 months have been full of challenges, some predictable, some less so, and our cruise and ski sales continue to thrive, giving us the opportunity to create incredible travel experiences for everyone who holidays with us.’

Following the event, Iglu Ski Managing Director Simon McIntyre said, ‘We are absolutely delighted to win the very first of these ski awards. Congratulations to all ski brands on the shortlist, and thank you to category sponsors Laax. This award is testament to our 27-year history, one in which we have never failed to innovate, and to deliver incredible ski holidays for our customers.’

Judges said: “Iglu Ski has raised the bar in the past 12 months with a number of major innovations and investments. A move to a new office in Wimbledon has energised staff and fostered greater team togetherness, while Iglu has also partnered with no less than 20 new brands to provide exclusive perks to customers. There has also been expansion in North America with a new stream of hotels and the trial of an online chat solution to offer customers more communication channels day and night. Iglu’s strong focus on inclusivity and making skiing more accessible also shone through, such as its partnership with Disability Snowsport UK to train staff.”
