HRG strengthens Eastern European presence
Two of the largest independent business travel suppliers in the Czech Republic and Slovakia have been acquired by Hogg Robinson Group (HRG).
The company has taken on BTI Czech Republic and BTI Slovakia, supplementing wholly-owned operations in Hungary and Russia.
The two BTI businesses were formerly partners of the Business Travel International network and were founded in 1990 as Global Express. They will trade as HRG Czech Republic and HRG Slovakia.
Their clients include Deloitte, GlaxoSmithKline, KPMG and Astra Zeneca.
HRG chief executive David Radcliffe said: “Last year alone saw the number of air tickets printed in the Czech Republic increase by 8% on the previous year and by 17% in Slovakia. Moreover, following their admission into the European Union in 2004, and with both countries receiving greater levels of direct foreign investment, we anticipate that the market will continue to expand.”
