The transaction marks our seventeenth acquisition.<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

\n

It takes our family-owned organisation’s annual turnover to nearly \u00a31bn, with 600 colleagues across operations in the UK, Europe, North America and APAC.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The transaction, completed on 30th July 2026, significantly enhances Gray Dawes’ presence in the United States, adding Executive Travel’s operation, head-quartered in Lincoln, Nebraska, to the Group’s existing American and Canadian business and further strengthening its ability to deliver seamless global travel management.<\/p>\n

Executive Travel joins a business that has built its reputation on combining High Touch, High Tech and High Content value propositions, delivering highly personal service, innovative technology and meaningful insight to corporate travel programmes \u2013 what it describes as a boutique business travel experience on a global scale. This creates a compelling proposition for organisations seeking international capability without sacrificing personal relationships.<\/p>\n
