BCD Travel buys into International Express
SYDNEY – BCD Travel, the world’s third largest travel management company, has acquired a majority stake in its current Australian network partner, International Express, a leading full service travel management company
International Express, which formerly traded as Sydney Express, Brisbane Express and Melbourne Express, was rebranded as BCD Travel in Australia earlier this year.
Mike Buckman, CEO of BCD Travel, said the investment in its Australian operation demonstrated its emphasis on strengthening its proposition locally in the Australian marketplace, regionally in the Asia Pacific region and globally for its major multinational clients. “Synergies in our shared vision for the future of travel management will ensure that clients continue to receive superior quality service and unrivalled value from their managed travel programmes.”
David Sumich, managing director of International Express, said this acquisition would enhance its service offering in Australia to its existing clients and “demonstrate stronger value to potential new business”.
As part of their ownership position, BCD Travel will be setting up a multinational service centre in Brisbane to offer seamless service to its clients in this key market and region.
BCD Travel simplifies and streamlines the corporate travel process, helping companies manage and control the movement of its people, information and resources. The company focuses on implementing an integrated, seamless technology platform throughout all global locations to provide full access to and analysis of travel data for these clients.
