FCM has clinched a deal with Shell to become the energy company’s global business travel provider.
The multi-year contract won by the global travel management company covers travel requirements across all businesses under the Shell umbrella.
The business travel division of Flight Centre Travel Group said its technology capabilities were a differentiating factor in Shell’s decision to award the contract following a tender process. The value of the account was not disclosed.
FCM global managing director Marcus Eklund (pictured) said: “We’re unafraid to challenge conventions nor are we limited by the constraints that many of our competitors face thanks to our global range, proprietary technology and inherent flexibility.
“This means we can provide a truly bespoke solution to clients like Shell that accommodates a variety of complex needs within an integrated globally consistent experience.”
Shell’s global travel operations manager Julia Sullivan said: “We look forward to working with FCM and to leveraging their digital capability and innovative approach.
“Our joint goal is to make a positive difference to our employees’ travel experiences, supporting their wellbeing and empowering them to make more sustainable travel choices.”
She added: “Business travel is changing, and in FCM we have found a partner that understands the challenges and supports our ambition to establish a travel programme that is as progressive as possible when benchmarked against Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) frameworks.”
