HRG acquires Belgian firm

Sunday, 29 Jun, 2007 0

Hogg Robinson Group has further expanded in Europe with the acquisition of Weinberg Travel in Belgium for an undisclosed sum.

The Antwerp-based firm is described as the largest independent, family-owned corporate travel company in the country.

It is the fourth European acquisition by HRG in the last year following deal sin the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia and gives the organisation 25 wholly owned or controlled companies worldwide.

Weinberg, established in 1952, joined the HRG worldwide network last year.

HRG said it “did not anticipate the need for any staff changes, ensuring continuity of service for clients”.

Chief executive David Radcliffe said: “Although we have a very strong foothold in Europe, it has been important to have ownership in Belgium, a strategically important country not least because of its associations with the EU.”
