“This acquisition significantly changes the TMC landscape and it is pleasing to see TripActions further its investment in the European market,” says Scott Davies, CEO at The Institute of Travel Management (ITM). “Combining the corporate travel and spend technology of TripActions with the high-touch service and scale of Reed & Mackay will create a very compelling proposition across a wide range of market segments.”
