Blue Stamp Travel wins Digital Transformation Award at East Midlands Chamber Business Awards
We’re thrilled to share that we have been presented with the Digital Transformation Award at the 2026 East Midlands Chamber Business Awards!
The ceremony took place on Thursday 12th March at the Renaissance at Kelham Hall, bringing together businesses from across the region to celebrate innovation, excellence, and outstanding customer service.
Being recognised in this category is especially meaningful for us. It reflects the significant time and effort our team has invested in making Blue Stamp digital. Notably, the development of Babel, our bespoke trip management platform and our website which integrates with Babel. These have been designed to ensure that travellers, parents/carers, teachers, school admin staff and trip coordinators are able to administer trips as efficiently as possible. We aim to provide high quality information in a timely fashion and these systems make this possible!
Discover our tour of Babel – how it works, and how it enables seamless trip planning.
Honouring our commitment to customer service
We were also delighted to be shortlisted in the Excellence in Customer Service category, with congratulations to Copley Scientific for winning this award. While we didn’t take home a second trophy this year, being recognised alongside such impressive organisations is an achievement in itself. Our dedication to delivering an exceptional experience for every customer remains at the heart of everything we do, and we look forward to continuing to raise the standard of service for schools and families. Maybe next year will be our year for this award?
A big thank you
We would like to thank BSPOKE Software and BSPOKE Web Design, who have supported Blue Stamp in our mission to innovate and streamline school trip planning. We would also like to thank the sponsors of the award NetMonkeys Ltd.
We would like to thank the East Midlands Chamber team, not only for the award but also for well organised event. With a late change of venue, they could have been excused if there was a slight lack of polish or pizzazz but there wasn’t. The Kelham Hall staff had clearly pulled out all the stops too, to make the event truly impressive.
Looking ahead
Winning the Digital Transformation award is both an honour and a motivator. It encourages us to continue refining Babel, enhancing our website, and improving our services so that every school trip is as seamless and stress-free as possible. We remain committed to supporting teachers, parents, and students with innovative solutions and high-quality service at every stage of the travel experience.
A huge thank you to our incredible team, our partners, and the schools and families who trust us to make educational travel inspiring, accessible, and unforgettable!
