An independent and family-owned business, Gray Dawes’ approach to travel management can be summed up as ‘high touch, high tech’. They focused on understanding their clients’ culture, values, and objectives to deliver on a higher level with their trademark emphasis on personal service. They believe that this approach, combined with their global reach – Gray Dawes has offices throughout the UK, USA and Australia, will enable them to provide even better travel experiences for WSA members.
Gray Dawes Group Marketing Director, John Cooper, added:
“Building on the legacy of Ventur, we’re super excited to bring the Gray Dawes’ ‘ALWAYS ON’ solution to WSA members. We are always there for our clients, where they need us, when they need us. And with a shared technology platform across the entire Gray Dawes global operation, WSA members will enjoy a seamless personal service as we follow the sun from the UK to America to Australia.”
WSA Commercial Manager Tom Sharp added:
“The WSA are delighted to support the membership with an experienced, cost-effective and dedicated sports specialist travel team. Gray Dawes have been working with a handful of our members for many years, so we know that they ‘get sport’ and they’re a safe pair of hands when it comes to in-country support and re-patriation if needed. They purchase flights on account, so supporting those smaller NGBs that have historically paid for their flights on credit card is of significant value too.”
