Independent travel management company ABT UK has got off to a winning start this year, clinching three new contracts and expanding with the opening of a new office in Bath.

Evergreen Marine (UK) ltd and sister company Evergreen Shipping - two of the new clients who form part of a multi-billion dollar global business - selected ABT UK to handle their corporate travel requirements.

Assistant manager for Evergreen Marine (UK) ltd, Renata Gervickaite, said: “We are happy with ABT UK's service because the prices are very competitive, and the staff very friendly and approachable. Any problems or changes are easily amended. We are looking forward to carrying on our relationship for the foreseeable future.”

Implicity London, ABT UK’s third new client, provides lifestyle management and concierge services to individuals, as well as a flexible PA service to small businesses and entrepreneurs. Head of service for Implicitly London, Mary Barnes, said: “We decided to appoint ABT UK because we trust the team to use their knowledge and can-do attitude to ensure our clients’ needs are met, every time.”

Speaking about the new business wins, Cilla Goldberger, managing director for ABT UK, said: “With the UK facing tough economic challenges and the negative headlines continuing to come thick and fast, we just have to remain focused on doing what we do best, and keep exceeding our clients’ expectations. We’re very much looking forward to working with these three new clients.”
