FCM Travel has re-signed global design and consultancy organisation Arcadis on a 10-year client contract.
The new travel management agreement consolidates FCM’s travel management and meetings services to Arcadis under a single partnership.
“Securing a 10-year partnership with a global leader like Arcadis validates our ‘alternative’ mindset in the corporate travel space,” said Melissa Elf, global managing director, FCM Travel.
“Forward-thinking multi-national enterprises want a partner who will challenge the status quo and evolve with them. This level of commitment allows the implementation of a strategic, long-view innovation plan that isn’t possible within standard three-year cycles.”
Arcadis has been an FCM customer for three years and travels to over 25 countries worldwide. With the FCM Platform, Arcadis gains access to predictive analytics, global standardisation, and integrated meetings, events, and consulting.
Jo Lloyd, global head of account management for FCM Consulting, said the extension proved the value of the company’s approach. “Going from a three-year deal to a ten-year deal is thanks to the journey FCM is on and the belief we have in working with customers for dual progression.”
Ian Spearing, Arcadis director of travel, said described the new deal as “a strategic investment in collaborative innovation and service excellence. By working together, we’re able to deliver scalable, sustainable growth and streamline our operations to efficiently meet our clients’ evolving needs.
“This agreement ensures our teams have the right tools and support to deliver high-quality outcomes, enabling us to work more effectively with our clients and strengthen our supplier relationships.”
