Meon Travel: Local expertise with a global reach

Meon Travel is a well-established successful UK travel business, but did you know we also service a number of significant customers in other European countries and have proven, trusted capabilities to serve clients globally?

Not only are we an influential member of the Advantage Global Travel Network, where James Beagrie, our owner and MD, sits on the Advisory Board, but we are also the UK partner of the groundbreaking ADTRAV Global Partnership Programme.

ADTRAV is a US-headquartered travel management consultancy (TMC) worth $750,000,000 and like Meon, is family driven, with the service and values you would expect.

In recent years, with the onset of large-scale mergers and acquisitions in the global TMC world, an opportunity has developed for a more flexible, in-country focused travel network to better align itself with the global SME business community and so the ADTRAV Global Partnership Programme was born.

Operating across all continents from Argentina to Australia, from Canada to China, the partnership encompasses over 30 successful, locally recognised independent business travel agencies, including hub-centre capabilities within the Far East and South America.

Richard Ware, Meon’s Head of Corporate Sales, who boasts a 20-year career in global travel consolidations, said:

“Clients’ unique requirements often reach beyond our own shores, and to have the flexibility to manage travel from another market, you need that local expertise and a partner that can understand local nuances from country to country.

“That’s why the partnership programme with ADTRAV is such a success, it makes it possible to work with local agencies in their own markets, deliver great service whilst consolidating travel spend and process through a single point of contact. It doesn’t get much better.”
