Apart from the obvious, or perhaps including the obvious, what’s the biggest challenge facing you as a buyer right now and why?
Inflation as hotels and airlines hike their rates as travel resumes.
Do you expect your business travel activity to resume to pre-pandemic levels?
I think 80 per cent as, firstly, we are smaller and, secondly, we all have new ways of working and expectations.
What support would you like to see from governments to get us all back on the road?
In the UK, alignment with our European neighbours.
What are you doing to make your travel programme more sustainable and why is this important?
We are currently investigating SAFs and offsetting as prepare to meet net zero goals.
Why are you looking forward to attending Business Travel Show Europe and meeting face to face once more?
Home working has lost its initial appeal!
Tell us in 20 words or fewer why buyers should attend your session at the show?
It's a unique opportunity to meet fellow buyers who face the same challenges as you and understand the category better than your work colleagues.
