We’re thrilled to announce that the partnership between Festive Road and Scania has been named Travel Team of the Year at the 30th Business Travel Awards Europe, held in London.
This award marks a major milestone in our journey, one that transformed a traditional, decentralised travel programme within a 133-year-old industrial company into a purposeful, traveller-centred ecosystem.
A New Kind of Travel Programme
We began by listening, launching a cross-company Voice of the Customer initiative to ensure the programme started and ended with traveller needs. We built a “best of the best” ecosystem, placing the traveller profile at the core and layering new technology, reporting, and payment solutions around it. The result? A programme that’s not only fit for today but ready for tomorrow.
Challenging the Status Quo
This wasn’t just a refresh, it was a reinvention. We challenged long-standing norms, linked travel strategy to broader productivity and sustainability goals, and secured executive support to drive change. The programme now serves as a blueprint for how travel can lead the way in organisational transformation.
A Win for the Whole Team
This recognition is a celebration of bold thinking, deep collaboration, and shared ambition. It reflects the dedication and creativity of everyone involved—from strategic leads to operational champions. Huge congratulations to the team behind the transformation: Mia Andersson, Magdalena Luksics, Rosita F., Kristina Ahlfors and Peter Forsgårdh among the team from Scania and Louise Kilgannon and Ami Taylor at Festive Road -this win is yours!
