“This partnership represents a pivotal moment in reshaping managed travel, allowing us to deliver tailored solution.”
“Bringing our two organizations together will enable us to better serve clients collectively, through the combination of our specialized services,” said Ian Sinderson, CEO, ATPI.
ATP has deep expertise in specialty markets such as energy, marine, sports, and mining.
