Chelsea Village is rebranded
Chelsea Village has been renamed Chelsea Travel Management (CTM) by its owner PPA Group.
PPA, a member of the GTMC, acquired the travel operation in 2004.
CTM managing director Jackie Lacey said: “Being part of PPA Group has provided the platform to further develop the company’s approach in the area of consultancy and travel management.
“New technology has given us the tools to extend our service offering to customers by moving beyond traditional practises and taking a more objective look at travel through the use of technology.
“We feel the time is now right to take on a new identity that truly reflects our ability within the market place.”
Alongside its travel management company, PPA Group provides travel services and back office technology to the travel trade with its BOSS system.
More recently it has supplied online leisure travel services to a growing number of clients including Asda and LBC radio.
