Wright leaves Worldspan

Saturday, 12 Jul, 2004 0

Worldspan vice president business development, Tim Wright has left the company to join an Irish firm that is essentially a ‘hotel GDS’.

Mr Wright has left Worldspan after 17 years to join CNG, an Ireland-based company that launched in 1999.

CNG distributes hotel rooms to agents and direct to consumers, with a specific focus on the US corporate market. It floated on the London AIM stock market in May 2004. CNG made a turnover of $48.1 million in 2003 and operating profit $5.8 million.

Mr Wright takes the role of senior vice president of business development, and will oversee the negotiation of partnerships in the EMEA region. At the moment most of the firm’s business is in the US, where it has an office, but a spokesman told TravelMole that there are plans to take the product to the UK in the next five years.
