Transworld success at the British Sports Book Awards.
Transworld had a very successful evening at the British Sports Book Awards on Thursday 11th March, winning two awards.
Madeline Toy, Senior Press Officer, won the inaugural Best Publicity Campaign Award for her work on The Man Who Cycled the World by Mark Beaumont. Mads had the challenge of organising publicity for an author who is usually on a bicycle in some inaccessible part of the world.
And the Best New Writer Award went to author Nick Clee for his critically-acclaimed Eclipse, the true story of the world's most famous racehorse, and the rogue who owned him.
