Competitive Rates

Strand Business Travel Management has merged with Grosvenor Travel Management. Grosvenor were established in 1991 and they possess a proven, high quality, service track record. Turnover in 2008 was £62m and they increased sales by 12%, which made them one of the fastest organically growing business travel agencies in the UK. Significantly, a high proportion of their growth has been driven by client referrals. Together we work with many leading international organisations managing and executing their travel requirements. We focus solely in the client’s needs and the consequent growth that we have achieved has earned us the respect of both our clients and the airlines. We are one of only 12 TMCs in the UK holding “Preferred Agent Status” with British Airways.

This level of relationship has led to practical benefits for our clients in the form of enhanced deal making capabilities, extra upgrade opportunities, priority waitlist clearance, better seat allocations and greater rule waiver capability.

A high status with BA means that the other airlines also want to pro-actively work with us. The result is that we have great relationships with all the other major carriers. From a client perspective, we remain absolutely neutral providing all cost effective options; customers can then choose the airline to use on an informed basis.

All of our business is fully licensed and bonded to provide you with financial protection and confidence.
