In 2016, Caroline Strachan and Paul Tilstone, bringing together over 55 years of combined experience in the corporate travel and expense industry, came together with a shared mission to challenge outdated models in travel and expense management. Their mission was clear: to create better travel and meetings solutions. Festive Road was launched.
The name Festive Road was inspired by British animation, Mr. Benn. Mr Benn lived on ‘Festive Road’ and would embark on adventures by entering a costume shop, putting on a suit and stepping into new worlds. He would always return with a souvenir of his trip. This is just what we do! We enter our clients’ worlds, become immersed in their culture and each client journey strengthens our expertise. Our souvenirs are the nuggets of information, the experiences and importantly, the fun we have along the way, all of which allows us to bring more value to the next client.
What started as a bold idea soon became a trusted name in the industry, supporting global clients with expert consulting and outsourcing services that drive smarter travel, and expense management decisions.
