Business travel industry stalwarts Lorraine Jacobs and Ivan
de Lantivy have launched 360° Travel Consultancy to provide independent support to
corporates.
The former Travelport employees have more than 50 years of
experience between them across business travel agencies, hotels, airlines and
technology, and say their services will help companies navigate their way
through this “thought-provoking time, challenging the status quo to implement
outstanding and forward-thinking programmes”.
The consultancy will review existing travel programmes and
recommend new processes to help deliver more sustainable programmes with an
increased focus on employee wellness and duty of care.
“Creating sustainable
business programmes is one of the many strands we focus on, but it’s more than
just this,” said Jacobs. “It’s about partnering with our clients to improve
current processes, cost savings and introducing new approaches that will
increase efficiencies and enhance the overall business.
“Now is the time to look at
rebuilding the travel industry and challenge the status quo, driving new
innovations and processes.”
De Lantivy added:
“The world as we know it has turned upside down and no industry as significantly
as travel. Everything has changed, business travel as described in the past is
no more, and we all
need to find sustainable ways to ensure our businesses remain viable, and we
find new approaches for
increased efficiencies.”
