IT WAS a case of third time’s a charm for P&O Cruises’ Richard Waugh, who was all smiles at the 2019 AFTA National Travel Industry Awards (NTIA) after breaking through to win the Best Sales Executive – Cruise honour.
The Queensland-based executive had been nominated for three years running, with a jubilant Waugh telling CW on the night the win “meant a lot”.
“It means so much that what I’m doing up there in Queensland in regards to promoting cruise relationship building with the trade is actually what the trade is after,” Waugh said.
“For the trade to have the support behind me to even just get nominated, being a finalist here really cements the fact that I am doing all I can to support the trade, support cruising and support P&O,” he added.
Waugh also thanked his wife who was at home with the couple’s nine-month-old son.
“We were FaceTiming as we did the award there as well – that’s pretty special to be able to share that moment,” Waugh said.
