We have now received our official East Midlands Chamber finalist badge!
Innovation and Outstanding Service in School Trip Planning
These nominations are especially meaningful for our team, as they reflect the two areas we’re passionate about – our commitment to innovative trip planning and our dedication to exceptional customer service in study travel. At Blue Stamp, we’ve always taken pride in providing outstanding service and support for schools and families, ensuring every stage of the travel experience is smooth, transparent, and enjoyable.
Over the past three years, we’ve worked closely with BSPOKE Software to develop and refine our bespoke online booking and administration system, Babel. This platform has transformed how we support schools, teachers, parents, and students, enabling seamless communication and making trip organisation easier and more efficient than ever. By simplifying the planning process, Babel takes the pressure off school staff, helping them focus on what really matters – giving young people the chance to experience life-changing travel opportunities.
Discover our tour of Babel – how it works, and how it enables seamless trip planning.
Reflecting Our Core Values
At Blue Stamp Travel, our mission has always been to make educational trips for students accessible, inspiring, and stress-free. We pride ourselves on delivering personal, friendly support at every stage, ensuring that every school trip runs efficiently and safely.
Being recognised in both the Digital Transformation and Excellence in Customer Service categories is particularly rewarding, as these awards reflect our ongoing commitment to our core values: innovation, reliability, and exceptional support for schools and students.
Looking Ahead
We’re proud to stand alongside so many inspiring local businesses driving innovation and excellence across Nottinghamshire. Being named finalists is an achievement in itself and a testament to the hard work and creativity of our team.
As we continue to grow, we’ll enhance Babel, improve our services, and expand the range of school trips and student travel experiences we offer.
A huge thank you to our amazing team, our partners at BSPOKE Software, and the schools and families who trust us to create unforgettable educational trips. We can’t wait to celebrate with everyone at the awards ceremony in March!
