Travelling With You

Before, during and after every trip, we’re with ENI all the way

Hello and welcome to Gray Dawes.

My name is James Bassett and I’m delighted to introduce myself as ENI’s dedicated Account Manager. From the start, you can be confident that the service you’ll be getting isnโ€™t just tailored to exceed your expectations, itโ€™s guaranteed to make you smile. Think of us as an extension of your own organisation; the out-of-house ENI travel team!

My role as your travel partner is to uncover what value means to ENI and create an Extra Mile Programme specifically to underpin how weโ€™ll enhance your travel programme and your business against targeted KPIs.

Of course, we can talk to you about products and services. But that’s what every TMC can (and will) give you. What you’ll also get from Gray Dawes is status and affiliation with the best TMC in the business. You’ll enjoy being part of a wider community and benefit from the partnership we build.

Happy travels!

WHO WE ARE

THIS IS GRAY DAWES

Unquestionable and award-winning quality

After more than fifty years as a leader of international travel management, we’ve built an enviable reputation of which we are fiercely proud. Put simply, we deliver a better business travel experience, 24/7.

 

Our proprietary travel technology is totally flexible and completely tailored to your organisation. Weโ€™ve partnered with the market-leaders, Atriis, to create YourTrip โ€“ a powerfully versatile yet rewardingly simple booking engine.

Because thatโ€™s how it should be.

Whether offline or online, agent managed or client self-service, YourTrip delivers a seamless and content-rich business travel booking experience.

At Gray Dawes Travel we recognise that weโ€™re not just there to secure the best travel fares, the most innovative itineraries, the slickest online tools or the most experienced consultants. Weโ€™re there as an extension of our clientsโ€™ own organisations; their out-of-house travel management department.

We achieve this because of the depths we go to in understanding our clients; their culture, their values and their objectives. Only then can we deliver on a higher level, with our trademark emphasis on the personal touch. Only then can we delight with remarkable value, innovation and service.

Thatโ€™s what we call โ€˜betterโ€™ travel.

GREATER THAN THE

SUM OF OUR PARTS

We’re a part of the Gray Dawes Group, an organisation with specialisms and expertise in many sectors. If you need help planning the holiday of your dreams, or showcasing an event that’ll never be forgotten, then we’ve got you covered.

Better Process

We are a totally digital travel management company with a very personal approach to service deliver. The tool used by your dedicated team of travel consultants is exactly the same one you’ll use online for simple trips. So whether arranging travel with us, from your smartphone on the go or on your laptop in the office, it’s all in sync, cutting down on paperwork and improving processes.

Time is Money

While you can find a flight or hotel room at a good price using a metasearch engine or online travel agency, you may not be finding the best options or rates and it can take you a lot more time – time better spent running your business! Plus, the dangers of DIY business travel come with no guarantee that a booking is within your travel policy, creating the real possibility of a refund or change.

Policy Perfection

Your travel policy should be an ever evolving thing, ensuring it remains relevant to what’s happening in the world and within your own company. We’re here to guide, steer and manage all of that for you. As your own out-of-house travel department, we’ll manage your travel programme to drive enhancements across value, safety, sustainability and service.
