FCM declares Shell yeah!

MULTINATIONAL oil & gas company Shell has awarded its travel business to Flight Centre’s FCM in a multi-year contract commencing in 2022.

FCM Global Managing Director Marcus Eklund believes the brand triumphed due to its client-first approach that prioritises the needs of travellers, and its preferred systems which do not compromise on quality.

“As we begin our journey with Shell, we are truly excited to work in partnership with their global travel team to devise and implement a comprehensive program that delivers on their goals, while making business travel simpler, safer and productive for their employees,” Eklund said.

“At FCM we’re unafraid to challenge conventions nor are we limited by the constraints that many of our competitors face thanks to our global range, proprietary technology, and inherent flexibility.

“This means we can provide a truly bespoke solution to clients like Shell that accommodates a variety of complex needs within an integrated globally consistent experience.”

Commenting on the appointment, Shell’s Global Travel Operations Manager Julia Sullivan said: “we look forward to working with FCM and to leveraging their digital capability and innovative approach.

“Our joint goal is to make a positive difference to our employees’ travel experiences, supporting their wellbeing and empowering them to make more sustainable travel choices.”

“Business travel is changing and in FCM we have found a partner that understands the challenges and supports our ambition to establish a travel program,” Sullivan added.
