BCD Travel acquires Majority Stake in Australian Network Partner

BCD Travel, one of the world’s largest travel management companies, has acquired a majority stake in their current Australian network partner. The company’s Australian partner, full service travel management company International Express, which formerly traded as Sydney Express, Brisbane Express and Melbourne Express, was re-branded as BCD Travel in Australia earlier this year.

Mike Buckman, CEO of BCD Travel, said, “BCD Travel is committed to being where our clients need us to be, and our strategy is to continue to invest in strategic markets aligned with our key clients’ travel programs. This investment in our Australian operation demonstrates our emphasis on strengthening our proposition locally in the Australian marketplace, regionally in the Asia Pacific region and globally for our major multinational clients. Synergies in our shared vision for the future of travel management will ensure that clients continue to receive superior quality service and unrivalled value from their managed travel programs.”

As part of their ownership position, BCD Travel will be implementing a multinational service center in Brisbane to offer seamless service to clients in this key market and region.

BCD Travel helps companies manage and control the movement of its people, information and resources. The company focuses on implementing an integrated, seamless technology platform throughout all global locations to provide full access to and analysis of travel data for these clients. Clients can take advantage of BCD Travel’s presence and technology infrastructure to track every trip, every traveler and the costs incurred throughout every journey.
