Reed & Mackay has completed the acquisition of a long-standing Spanish corporate travel, meetings and events company partner.
The deal for Atlanta Events & Corporate Travel Consultants is the fourth European acquisition by Reed & Mackay’s US owner TripActions Group in 18 months.
Atlanta Events & Corporate Travel Consultants has been part of Reed & Mackay’s international partnership for more than a decade.
TripActions acquired Reed & Mackay last year and followed that with the addition of Comtravo in Germany and Resia in Sweden earlier in 2022.
Atlanta Events & Corporate Travel, founded more than 40 years ago, has offices in Andalucia, Barcelona and Madrid and more than 70 business travel and events staff.
TripActions co-founder and chief executive Ariel Cohen said: “As people look to meet face-to-face, meetings and events — including team onsites and offsites — are driving a large share of the recovery.
“From TripActions’ self-serve Team Travel platform to the expanding reach of Reed & Mackay, the TripActions Group’s clear vision of post-pandemic travel continues to bear out. We’re excited to extend this vision and reach into Spain.”
Reed & Mackay chief executive Fred Stratford said: “Not only does Atlanta Events & Corporate Travel Consultants bring deep-rooted knowledge of the Spanish corporate travel, meetings and events market, its values also closely align with Reed & Mackay’s uncompromising focus on high-touch service.”
