Leeds expansion for TD Travel Group
TD Travel Group will open an office in Leeds city centre on May 1 to serve the West Yorkshire region.
The travel management company, which already has offices in Manchester, Merseyside and Hull, will also offer leisure travel from the office from the end of May.
The business travel side is being managed by Chris Hall, previously corporate travel manager of the BTI Hogg Robinson Leeds brand, which closed earlier this year. He will initially head a team of eight staff.
TD Sport and Travel, the group’s specialist sports hospitality and travel division, will transfer from Hull to the new Leeds office, headed by Gavin Whiteman.
The company is currently recruiting for its leisure team and a manager.
“Recent years have seen a number of high profile travel management companies closing their Leeds and Yorkshire offices. TD aims to buck this trend,” said a spokesman.
To celebrate the launch of the new office, TD is offering Yorkshire-based companies the chance to win £15,000 towards their business travel spend by telling it which services are most important to them.
Companies can enter online at www.tdtravelgroup.com/leeds.
