We take time to understand your needs

Before we start planning for your next corporate trip, it’s crucial that we understand your exact requirements so that we can meet your expectations. In fact, this is the most important aspect of corporate travel plans, as it gives us a chance to truly understand your needs and make sure that the arrangements we make are suitable.

Whether you decide to give us control of your trip from start to finish, or you need some assistance in managing certain aspects of it, we will take the time to understand your needs before we get started on doing any of the planning.

The first step in getting to know you and your needs will be understanding your travel preferences – for instance, your preferred seat on a plane, dietary preferences, frequent flyer numbers or hotel membership numbers. We will also act as a travelling concierge for you, making sure we keep tabs on things like your ID expiration date to make sure you never un into any hiccups while on your business trips.

We can also play an active role in advising you on your business’s corporate travel policy and will strictly adhere to it once it’s signed off. This all contributes to your peace of mind, by reassuring you that plans are being arranged ‘by the book’.
