“Responding to the needs of Quintessentially’s members and corporate clients”, QCTM launched an office in New York in September 2017, before becoming fully operational in London under the new branding.

QCTM has invested in a new London and New York based sales team, made up of two business development managers and a sales executive, headed up by director of sales, Ryan Fox.

“QCTM’s rebranding sits perfectly within the Quintessentially Travel Group”, said Ian Neale, Global chief executive of the Quintessentially Travel Group.

“As an extension of Quintessentially Travel, QCTM fulfils a much needed service for our members and clients, while bringing over 40 years of specialist knowledge to our overall network.

“QCTM joins our Leisure and Incentive travel divisions, and will benefit from the group’s global buying power, infrastructure and brand reputation. We’re now in an even stronger position to drive our global travel management service forward.”

Edward Leigh, founder and managing director of QCTM, who will continue in his role, added: “We are very excited to be part of the Quintessentially Travel Group.

“Our highly experienced senior management team, including Suzie Harris, operations director, bring a wealth of knowledge and specialist experience to the company to deliver personal and intelligent travel management solutions.

“Our focus is to continue improving our customer service, while remaining committed to reducing the cost of business travel, improving efficiencies, productivity, and developing innovative products for our valued clients.”
