Focus Travel Partnership
Focus Travel Partnership is the leading consortium for SME Travel Management Companies in the UK. A membership organisation where independent agencies, who have mainly corporate travel business customers, combine their buying power to centrally negotiate optimum commercial terms. These range from centrally negotiated and distributed air fares and commission, industry supplier commercial deals plus access to cutting edge technology solutions. The Partnership is Partner owned and led, creating an ethos of an organisation run by the partners for the partners. Focus Travel Partnership has 50 independent TMCs (Travel Management Companies) as Partners who, combined, have a turnover of £1.2billion across all facets of their travel businesses. Negotiations are managed centrally by the Focus Central team who have large and varied experience in the corporate travel community and therefore understand the diverse needs of the Focus Partners. Membership of the Focus Partnership is by invitation and there are strict criteria which Travel Management Companies (TMCs) must meet in order to join the partnership, allowing us to cohesively work together to achieve our mutual business goals.
