A new travel management consulting company launches at the Business Travel Market in London today.
Called 3SIXTY Global, the company has been created by Lesley Turvey and Chris Reynolds.
Turvey spent the last six years in senior travel procurement roles at marketing giant WPP and two financial services companies.
Before that, she worked for travel management companies Rosenbluth and BCD Travel, principally as a project leader and business manager for key multinational clients.
Reynolds spent five years as UK travel manager for Siemens and was also originally from a TMC background. He is industry affairs chairman for the Institute of Travel & Meetings.
The company claims it will provide corporate buyers with an “unbiased, external view of travel procurement procedure to help them make smart business supplier decisionsâ€.
It also provides interim travel management services.
Turvey said: “Chris and I have extremely complementary skills. My experience is in operations and project management, while he is a procurement expert. Together, we handle the entire life_
cycle of travel management operations for our clients.â€
