The Business Travel Magazine

In brief...

-

“We’re no different to any other industry in that we just want clarity and direction because when you don’t have that it creates noise. We just want to get it sorted. But when we do come out of Europe, business travel will be central to shoring up relationsh­ips and sealing deals around the world.”

Clive Wratten on Brexit...

On sustainabi­lity….

“It would be foolhardy of anyone to say that it’s not here to stay this time. But sustainabi­lity is not just the ‘green’ piece, which is hugely important, but it’s also the sustainabi­lity of this industry. It’s about bringing new blood into it, doing business more efficientl­y, and making sure that when we are sending people away we’re doing it in a sustainabl­e way.”

On life away from work…

“I am a Reading FC fan and it’s my 20th season as a season ticket holder at the Royals. That is my first love outside of my family.”

On travel destinatio­ns…

“Having had years of working for airlines and enjoying concession tickets on long-haul carriers, I’ve not visited Europe much on holiday. But we have been exploring it much more since I left Etihad and I'm really in love with the Med at the moment – Greece and Turkey in particular.”
