We're proud to celebrate an evening of achievement at the Business Travel Awards Europe 2026, securing Silver in the Business Travel Partner of the Year, Medium TMC category and sharing in the success of our customer, SSE, whose Head of Travel Services, Jacquie Peebles, was named European Travel Buyer of the Year.
The brightest names in European business travel gathered at London's iconic JW Marriott Grosvenor House on Wednesday 30 September for the Business Travel Awards Europe 2026. Hosted by impressionist and broadcaster Jon Culshaw, the event brought together travel buyers, suppliers, technology innovators and industry leaders to celebrate excellence across the sector.
Organised by Business Travel News (BTN) Group, the awards are among the most respected in the industry, with winners selected by an independent panel of corporate travel managers, procurement specialists and travel experts.
Against strong competition from across the corporate travel landscape, We're delighted to be recognised with a Silver award, while also celebrating the success of longstanding customer SSE, whose industry-leading travel programme received individual recognition through European Travel Buyer of the Year winner, Jacquie Peebles.

Celebrating SSE's success: European Travel Buyer of the Year
The evening also brought fantastic news for our customer SSE, as Jacquie Peebles, Head of Travel Services, was named European Travel Buyer of the Year.
Recognised for her exceptional leadership, Jacquie successfully transformed SSE's global travel programme while navigating significant cost-reduction targets and a reduced team structure. Through a data-led approach, she delivered £13 million in savings, double the original target, while continuing to enhance technology, duty of care, sustainability and the overall traveller experience.
Her achievement demonstrates how strategic travel management can deliver both commercial value and meaningful benefits for travellers, even during periods of significant organisational change.
Judges comments
"Faced with a mandate to significantly reduce costs while also downsizing her team, Jacquie Peebles led the transformation of SSE’s global travel programme without losing sight of the people at the heart of it: its travellers. Her data-led approach delivered £13 million in savings, twice the original target, while also driving improvements in technology, duty of care, sustainability and the traveller experience. At a time when travel managers are under increasing pressure to do more with less, Jacquie demonstrated that strong commercial performance and genuine care for travellers don’t have to be competing priorities"
CEO perspective
"We're incredibly proud to receive recognition at one of the most prestigious events in the business travel calendar.

We're equally delighted to see Jacquie Peebles and the SSE travel programme recognised with European Travel Buyer of the Year. The award is testament to the vision and dedication that Jacquie brings to the role, and we're proud to support SSE on their travel management journey. Congratulations to all the winners and finalists who continue to push our industry forward."
