What they’re saying about the 2012 Business Travel Show
“At last year’s show, Capita Business Travel took a bigger-than-usual stand, showcasing and profiling a new brand identity and enhanced travel portal. Twelve months on and the Business Travel Show is the ideal opportunity for us to showcase our sophisticated and unique travel management service.”
MATT SELBY Sales and marketing director, Capita Business Travel
“I’m returning for a second year as a hosted buyer and I am especially looking forward to sharing with, and learning from, other senior travel buyers who attend. I get a lot of value from the conference sessions, particularly the buyer-only masterclasses, and come away with some good ideas to improve my programme.”
Siri Persson Travel manager, procurement, Logica Sweden
“Redspottedhanky.com is looking forward to the 2012 show with much excitement as we bring our new product for travel management companies to the market. We’re looking forward to meeting as many as possible of the attendees who have an interest in selling UK rail more efficiently.”
“We are exhibiting at the Business Travel Show to position ourselves as the better deal for business for the savvy business traveller. We will also be promoting the Travelodge business account card, and our corporate rate and package proposition.”
CHARLIE HERBERT Trading director of first-time exhibitor Travelodge
“Following the merger of United Airlines and Continental Airlines, we are delighted to attend the 2012 show as the new United.”

“2012 will be my second year attending the Business Travel Show and my first as a hosted buyer. The BTS diary system lets me pre-arrange meetings that exactly match my buying needs, and the networking opportunities are second to none – I can network with my peers from all over Europe, create brand new supplier contents and strengthen existing relationships.”
Karen Hawkins Procurement specialist, Nationwide Building Society
“Last year the Business Travel Show was a success for Hotelzon – we gained new customers and met lots of decision-makers in the industry. This year we welcome everybody interested in hotel booking systems to visit us and hear more about solutions that can help reduce travel spend by 20 per cent, plus increase control and compliancy, and get to know the latest innovations within the industry.”
PÄIVI HUUHTANEN Head of marketing and communications, Hotelzon
“Traveltime is exhibiting at the Business Travel Show for the first time in 2012. We feel the show is a fabulous opportunity to have direct contact with travel buyers, bookers and arrangers. We have chosen to exhibit at the Business Travel Show as it is Europe’s largest event for this sector, and we believe we can offer something different to our larger competitors. The show is the ideal platform for us to meet travel bookers/buyers in person to demonstrate this.”
SARAH FRYER Business travel manager, Traveltime
“Although I work with some fantastic service providers, I also value being able to catch up with all of our suppliers face to face and keeping up to date with alternative supplier offerings. At the Business Travel Show, I can do all of that in one day, which is an incredibly efficient use of my time.”
