Technology-focused corporate travel firm secures £2m worth of new contracts

Good Travel Management, one of the UK’s oldest travel companies, have recently received a boost in business after securing several high-profile contract wins.

Over the past couple of months, the company has won contracts with a range of industry sectors from manufacturing, offshore, IT and logistics, totalling nearly £2m per annum.

The contract wins follow the company’s major move to a new, purpose built, head office at the Bridgehead Business Park, Hessle, East Yorkshire – one of the North’s most sustainable business parks - along with fellow group companies John Good Shipping and Dan Shipping.

This recent success also indicates that Good Travel Management is a key member of the worldwide travel group, Uniglobe Travel.

The company’s biggest deal is the contract to manage all of the UK travel requirements for ThyssenKrupp AG (UK); a German multinational conglomerate specialising in materials and technologies.

Good Travel Management, who worked with one of ThyssenKrupp AG’s for several years, were successful in a bid to win all of the German firm’s UK air travel spend.

In addition, as part of the deal Good Travel Management has to integrate the ThyssenKrupp online platform, Cytric, into its own systems and software.

Hans Lehrburger, European travel management for ThyssenKrupp, said: “Good Travel Management went to considerable efforts to ensure a smooth implementation and transition from a position of having multiple TMC’s and direct bookings, to an integrated online platform, Cytric, which is used by ThyssenKrupp worldwide. We then have the benefit of their expertise brought by the offline team at Good Travel Management coupled with our in-house travel technology available to all UK employees.”

Good Travel Management’s other contract wins also involve technological elements, as there is a high demand for online solutions provided by Good Travel Management including ‘Good Travel Manager’, a full online booking tool, and ‘Rooms and Rail’, their domestic travel solution.

Kevin Harrison, managing director of Good Travel Management, said: “Our investment in a flexible range of online solutions is now starting to gain considerable interest from new and existing clients. This is also backed up by the expertise of our award winning team of consultants across the North of England and Midlands, giving the best of both worlds for our current customers and target clients of the future.”
