FAB AWARDS 2024
FAB Superstars Awards: The roll of honour for 2024
Exceptional frontline and back of house employees in the world of travel food & beverage were honoured during day two of the Airport Food & Beverage (FAB) + Hospitality Conference. The winners were announced by Moodie Davitt Report Founder & Chairman Martin Moodie.
The FAB Superstars Awards, now in their fourth year, highlight the doers, the greeters, the people whose small, thoughtful touches and acts of service quietly make passenger journeys more pleasurable and memorable.
The overall winner was Brodie Leslie, a Bartender and Coffee Barista who works for Emirates Leisure Retail at Launceston Airport in Tasmania, Australia.
