Travel Management Group offer free business travel audits

Businesses are wasting thousands of pounds a year on in efficient travel expenses, a Leamington-based firm has warned. The company is urging firms to look at how they travel in order to cut down on needless outgoings.

Business Travel Director David Moore said "Companies tend to be a bit blasé about the costs of travel. People book a conference or meeting and then worry about how they will get to it later. But a bit of forward planning can reduce ticket costs massively.
" For instance, many local firms book meetings in London for around 9am - meaning they take a train at peak time. But by putting an appointment back by an hour or two, the cost falls dramatically. The same is true of air travel".

To help firms calculate their expenses, TMG is offering free business travel audits. The audit looks at the use of all modes of transport and areas in which a company can save.
