ATP snaps up event company
ATP International has acquired French conference and event specialist Martine Thiebault Valette.
The Paris-based company, established 15 years ago, has sales of more than 15 million euros and employs over 40 people.
ATP, travel organiser for the last two ABTA conventions, claims to be one of the biggest travel management companies in Europe, with offices in the UK, Holland and Belgium in addition to the US.
CEO Graham Ramsey said: “There are clearly great synergies between the two companies, not only in business travel but also in the conference business.
“ATP has shown its strength in the UK by the recent third consecutive years appointment for the ABTA Convention, and in Holland organising the Congress of International Environment Council as well as the global conference of ABN AMRO in 12 locations.”
