International SOS and Control Risks win 'Best Specialist Business Travel Product/Provider' Award
London
Now in their 20th year, the Business Travel Awards are a long-standing fixture on the industry calendar, bringing together the travel industry’s leaders and top corporate clients. The annual awards recognise and celebrate the “extraordinary achievements of the most deserving organisations and individuals in business travel”.
The Business Travel Awards 2015 were judged by a panel of senior travel buyers from leading global organisations, who stated that ‘Best Specialist Business Travel Product / Provider’ was the most keenly contested of all categories this year. They felt International SOS provided a truly comprehensive solution in its field, continually developing to improve its capability and performance, with enhanced reporting, and with the introduction of an impressive app.
Xavier Carn, Regional Security Director for Europe at International SOS and Control Risks said:
“We are very proud to have won this award – it demonstrates that we are on the right path to meeting the evolving needs of the business travel community. TravelTracker is at the cornerstone of our value proposition: The integration of prevention, information and assistance is absolutely essential to support our clients’ travellers and assignees.”
Nicola Lomas, Director, Travel Partnerships for Europe at International SOS, added:
“TravelTracker is a comprehensive travel risk mitigation tool designed, built, and improved with travel managers in mind. Each new release reflects the needs of our clients and their expectations around travel, risk and security. The TravelTracker mobile application is simple to use and created to meet the demands of today and tomorrow’s business travellers”.
