Chris Reynolds and Lesley Turvey officially launched a new combined consultancy this week, which aims to focus on the needs of smaller companies.
The new business travel consultancy, to be named 3 Sixty Global, combines the forces of Reynolds and Turvey, who have both been in the travel industry for some 30 years.
Turvey ran her own consultancy firm, Insinia Consulting, for the past eight years, while Reynolds has run a consultancy under the name 3 Sixty Sourcing for a number of years.
Turvey, who will take on the role of senior partner, said the consultancy would focus on ensuring small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that they work with would see a return on investment.
"We are looking to take a slightly different approach," said Turvey. "We know from experience that there are a lot of SMEs that need advice and help with their programmes."
She said they would build a company with the flexibility to "do the kind of work that they [SMEs] want us to do at prices they could afford".
"There is a substantial amount of money that SMEs are needing to control," added Turvey.
