GTMC reveals new Executive Council line-up

The Guild of Travel Management Companies’ (GTMC) Chief Executive, Anne Goey, has announced its new Executive Council.
 
Incoming Chairman Ajaya Sodha, from Key Travel, will take over the industry body for travel management companies at GTMC’s AGM on 30 January 2012.
 
He will be joined by four new members of the executive: Hillgate Travel’s Anthony Rissbrook; Travel Management Group’s David Moore; Co-operative Travel Management’s Paula Cullen and Wexas Travel Management’s Stephen Allen.
 
Also on the Council are seven previously-elected members: Immediate Past Chairman, Portman Travel’s Michael Hare plus two other past chairmen, Ian Allan Travel’s Paul Allan and The Appointment Group’s Maurice Veronique.
 
Completing the line-up are Reed & Mackay’s Richard Boardman, Horncastle Executive Travel’s Peter Drummond, ATPI’s Graham Ramsey and Statesman Travel’s Mervyn Williamson.
 
“The GTMC Executive Council is our working board and the members on it bring experience, expertise and knowledge of the UK’s business travel sector,” Goey said. “For such busy senior management to give up their time for the voluntary roles on the GTMC Executive Council shows a massive commitment to the business travel community that the GTMC represents.”
 
Sodha added: “I will be supported by an experienced team that includes three past chairmen but also have the benefit of ’new blood’ with four new faces taking up office at the AGM. The GTMC represents the interests of all travel management companies, regardless of size and this new Executive Council includes the senior personnel of a cross section of large, medium and small companies – it couldn’t be a better balanced team.”
