Fractional Travel Management
An experienced travel manager, without a full-time appointment.
If travel needs ongoing attention but you do not have dedicated expertise in-house, I can act as your fractional Travel Manager.
I work alongside your existing team, bringing oversight to the agreed areas of your travel programme and helping put improvements into practice. You work directly with me, Alan Athey.
Where I can help
I manage the relationship with your Travel Management Company and other travel suppliers, review service performance and follow up on agreed actions.
Supplier oversight
I review available travel data and reporting to give your team a clearer view of activity, spending and priorities.
Spend and reporting
I work with internal stakeholders to move agreed improvements forward and review progress.
Programme improvements
I develop or refine travel policy, approval processes and internal responsibilities so they are clear, practical and suited to your organisation.
Policy and processes
I support the assessment and selection of travel providers and booking technology when change is needed.
Supplier and technology selection
How we work together
We discuss how travel is managed, the people involved and the areas that need attention.
Understand your priorities
We define the scope, responsibilities, level of involvement, fees and review arrangements before work begins.
Agree the engagement
I work with your team on the agreed priorities, with regular communication and a clear view of progress.
Provide ongoing support
How this fits with your booking arrangements
My fractional role focuses on managing and improving your travel programme. Where you use a Travel Management Company or booking provider, I work with them as part of that oversight.
We agree responsibility for bookings, traveller support and escalation before the engagement begins.
