Three years after establishing her own travel management company 'Business Travel Solutions', managing director, Edel Doherty reflects on the growth of her company and her plans for the future.
Business Travel Solutions - Women In Business 'Best Exporter Award' sponsor - is a corporate travel company that offers businesses a comprehensive travel management package. One of the top 40 travel management companies in the UK the company has gone from strength to strength in the past year. The business has grown rapidly and this year we've already had to employ three new members of staff as the number of new clients increased.
Business Travel Solutions provides bespoke business travel management for companies across all sectors. Our client base consists of the top companies in Northern Ireland ranging from various industries such as pharmaceutical, engineering, agri-foods, law and IT.
We are still a relatively young company so working with such distinguished clients who are arguably the best in their field reflects the type of professional and personalised service we are able to provide. I also have an experienced team behind me and believe it's our people who set it apart as a departure from the ordinary. My team are focused on delivering the best possible service to the client. Being part of the Advantage network that has a £1.2 billion travel spend, we are able to offer exclusive cost effective airfares and hotel rates. Building a solid relationship with our clients and their travellers, fulfilling their specific wants and needs as well as providing them with knowledgeable travel advice are the driving force behind our success.
Traveller Safety is an important facet of the agenda. Our clients are always in safe hands anywhere in the world 24/7.
When weather delays or other uncontrollable events like flight cancellations, scheduled changes, or world events occur that may prevent corporate travellers from reaching their destinations, our team provides professional care behind the scenes. With Business Travel Solutions technology we can locate all travellers at any moment in time.
We are passionate about taking care of our corporate clients and protecting their well-being as well as their business.
We are especially delighted to support this year's Women in Business NI awards and wish to congratulate all the winners and finalists.
