Delivering a ''best in class'' Travel Management ProgrammeBy building Global programmes that really work locally, we deliver:
Greater visibility and control of all multinational locations – consolidated global management information and a dedicated global account management structure, clients can introduce a global programme with whatever degree of control they require.
Service consistency – all partners have been chosen for their similar approach to providing service excellence. They receive the same client brief and have access to ProfileStar to ensure that all customer expectations are fulfilled to the highest standards.
Access to the best local knowledge – each partner is independently owned and a leader in their respective local market. Unlike manager run subsidiaries of larger multi-nationals, they have a considerable interest in the success of each client account.
