Hogg Robinson adopts HRG branding
Hogg Robinson is to launch its new worldwide network under the new brand of HRG (Hogg Robinson Group).
The new brand is designed to reflect the company’s positioning as an international corporate services company and will be introduced from April 3.
In addition to Hogg Robinson’s wholly owned companies in more than 20 markets which currently trade as BTI, the HRG network will extend to a further 68 countries. These will comprise the vast majority of the partners which are part of the Business Travel International (BTI) organisation and who have elected to stay with Hogg Robinson.
It is estimated that the new network will have a global turnover of $12 billion and a total workforce of over 15,000 employees.
CEO David Radcliffe said: “Hogg Robinson’s simple objective is to offer a range of services from low cost transaction processing through to consulting and expense management. These offerings are designed to maximise overall value to corporate clients through their travel and related expenditure.
“Whilst we will continue to operate on a business as usual basis with existing clients who have contracted with BTI, it is important that HRG is clearly positioned as a value focused company.
“In today’s corporate travel management segment, there are huge differences in approach. Some travel management companies are concentrating on low cost transaction solutions whilst we firmly believe we need to add value by offering a complete range of services, including low cost if appropriate to the client.
“We have stated that any global organisation providing corporate services in the business travel environment needs to be under single ownership and we are delighted to have accomplished this. Hogg Robinson owns in all the key driver markets and has a network of strong partners, many of whom we have worked with for over 15 years.
“Through HRG we look forward to continue to delivering service excellence that meets and exceeds our clients’ expectations from which they will see real benefits and achieve tangible results.”
