Australian corporate travel platform has been re-named Travelport Locomote as it expands to the UK.
Travelport purchased a 49 per cent stake in Locomote in 2014.
The company said it will “continue to focus on introducing a comprehensive suite of corporate products” for business travellers. This will be helped by Travelport’s recent acquisition on Mobile Travel Technologies (MTT).
“Our new name and extended proposition reflect the strength of our relationship with Travelport,” said Sandra McLeod, CEO of Travelport Locomote. “I am very excited by the plans we have in place to grow our offering and expand into new territories and feel confident that, with the leadership of our new management team, we will be well placed to achieve our goals.”
“Our focus remains unchanged,” she added. “We will continue to deliver the very best solution for corporations and their employees, delivering experiences that redefine corporate travel.
The UK growth strategy will be spearheaded by recently-appointed director of sales & support UK, Vicki Mills.
