The company, founded by chief executive Peter Reglar, is a leading independent with offices in Uxbridge, Surrey and Oxford.
Reglar said: We have been impressed with the changes that the GTMC has made recently, such as, appointing a company to lobby Government to ensure our industry has a voice and the opportunity to debate important industry issues.
We believe this more open approach makes the organisation relevant to our business.
GTMC chief executive Philip Carlisle said: Business Travel Direct is a very well respected company and I am delighted that they have recognised the benefits of GTMC membership and we look forward to their enthusiastic participation in guild activities.
