Travel firm reaches for stars

A travel firm based in Leamington is reaching for the stars after grasping a £500,000 contract with a major organisation based at the Royal Observatory.

Travel Management Group (TMG), in Dormer Place, has landed the deal to organise business travel arrangements for the Edinburgh based UK Astronomical Technology Centre (UKATC). The firm focuses on the design, production and promotion of state of the art astronomical technology. And its scientists also carry out research into the origins of planets and galaxies.

David Moore, director of business travel operations at TMG, said: "We are delighted to have won the contract to handle the travel arrangements for UKATC. It is the latest in a long line of TMG's prestigious clients and we are looking forward to cementing an excellent working relationship with them."
