US-based travel management company Atlas Travel has expanded into the UK by opening its own travel operation in the City of London.
The office is being established to offer business travel services to a growing number of clients who have employees in the UK and other parts of Europe.
The new Atlas Travel & Technology (ATTG) division in London will be managed by general manager Simon Brown, who has 30 years experience in the travel industry.
Atlas president and chief executive Elaine Osgood said: “We have been consolidating global data for our clients for many years through our operation in the United States.
“However, the number of US businesses we serve who have UK-based travellers is growing dramatically and this really drove the decision to open a London office.”
The company’s chief operations officer Lea Cahill added: “We are excited about this expansion and know it will make a big difference for clients who have grown with Atlas Travel and are looking for more consistent support overseas.”
