The Durham Tourism Superstar Award celebrates individuals who go above and beyond to ensure that every visitor to the region has warm welcome and leaves with lasting memories. This award provides the opportunity to highlight someone who has kindness and enthusiasm, which makes our region truly special.
When it comes to delivering a friendly North East welcome, there is no one quite like Jimmy. At the age of 86, Jimmy is a remarkable ambassador for the many wonderful sites, stories and history of the region. His energy, compassion and kindness leaves a lasting imprint on both tourists and locals alike, whether you are a first-time visitor or someone who has called this area home for years.
Something that sets Jimmy apart is his ability to connect with everyone. He is particularly brilliant at making Spanish-speaking guests feel at home – a small gesture which makes a big difference.
That’s why we are proud to put forward Jimmy Nicol for the Durham Tourism Superstar award. Please show your support and vote for Jimmy – a wonderful person who truly embodies the best of Durham’s tourism spirit.
