We’re thrilled to congratulate Jimmy Nicol on being named the winner of the Durham Tourism Superstar Award! This well-deserved recognition celebrates Jimmy’s incredible dedication, warmth, and unwavering passion for sharing the beauty and history of our region with everyone he meets. His enthusiasm and kindness have touched countless lives, and we couldn’t be prouder to see him honoured in this way.
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.
