BCD Meetings & Incentives is to be run hy Scott Graf, previously president of WorldTravel Meetings & Incentives before it joined WorldTravel BTI and several other travel-related companies under the BCD Holdings umbrella.
The new company has been formed through the combination of three units: WorldTravel Meetings & Incentives, TQ3 Events and UK and European event management and incentive business Talking Point.
The division will have 500 staff and a presence in more than 20 countries, including wholly-owned in 13.
