'We are not isolationist' says Advantage chief executive

Advantage Travel Centres chief executive John McEwan said its members had shown a ââ¬Åâœreal level of confidenceââ¬~ in its decision to leave Triton.

He said the highly-publicised departure was a ââ¬Åâœdistractionââ¬~ but added: ââ¬ÅâœThe response that we got from members was very positive and showed they were very happy with our decision.

ââ¬ÅâœWe left Triton for commercial reasons. We are not isolationist but firmly believe that any entity for independents should not be commercial in its nature and should not be taking commercial decisions.ââ¬~

But he said he wished the break-up had been handled differently.

ââ¬ÅâœThere were a lot of things played out publicly which need not have happened, but it is behind us now and we must move on.ââ¬~
