Advantage Travel Partnership Spotlight Award
December 2023
Scott Pawley, Global Travel Management’s Managing Director was nominated for a Spotlight Award by industry consortium the Advantage Travel Partnership.
The annual award singles out one person who has made a significant contribution to the industry over the course of – in Scott’s case – many years.
After the award ceremony in London, Scott said,
This award is a great honour for me, because it’s bestowed by the incredibly well regarded, hard working team of travel professionals at The Advantage Travel Partnership. I am very pleased to have been presented with this award and I would like to thank Julia Lo Bue Said and the team at Advantage.
This award is for the work we are doing at Global Travel Management Ltd. It’s in recognition of the work we have done to deploy the most cutting-edge technology for our customers. Like Your Concierge, the travel assistant driven by the latest machine learning and artificial intelligence technology. Like PinPoint, the traveller tracking and corporate duty of care tool. Like GTM Online, the corporate self-booking tool. And like our app, which delivers real-time travel itinerary information to the palms of travellers’ hands.
It’s also in recognition with the work we do with our partners at Trees4Travel, enabling us to expand the forest of trees we and our customers have planted to combat the greenhouse gas emissions from business travel – and from every aspect of our business.
Advantage Travel Partnership Marketing Campaign of the Year
December 2023
Global Travel Management has been named the winner of the annual Advantage Travel Partnership award for the industry’s best marketing campaign.
The Best Marketing Initiative/Campaign 2023 was awarded to Global Travel Management’s Sales and Marketing teams at the annual Big Celebration Lunch in London.
The award was collected by Global Travel Management Marketing Director Mark Wilson who said,
I am very pleased the work we do to share information on the business travel industry has been recognised by Advantage. Each week we craft emails which highlight the latest developments in the industry in a light-hearted and informative way. We are used to receiving compliments for the content of the emails, but to receive recognition from Advantage is hugely welcome.
The business travel industry is fast-moving and constantly-developing. So we work hard to make sure people are aware of the important issues that face business travellers, bookers and those with an interest in the sector.
Focus Travel Partnership Outstanding Contribution
November 2023
Global Travel Management Sales Director Paul Baker has received an honour from the Focus Travel Partnership.
Paul has been singled out for his on-going work in the partnership’s Air Steering Group, which sets the commercial and technical relationship between airlines and Focus Travel Partnership members across the United Kingdom.
In their commendation, Focus stated that Paul – a key member of the Air Steering Group since its inception – is key to the relationship between Focus membership and airlines. Focus stated,
Paul’s input is instrumental in the dialogues that take place with our airline partners and often the results that come from those dialogues. He brings the operational element of using fares and gaining access to support channels to the table so these can be addressed with relevant airlines across the Central team’s wider remits. In addition, he regularly raise topics and suggestions to peers in the Steering Group so that open dialogues about challenges and opportunities for the whole Focus partnership can be assessed.
