IMPLEMENTATION CASE STUDY…
Ensuring a smooth transition
JDX Consulting had no documented policy or defined process when it came to business travel. Each individual booked travel online using their personal credit card and claimed back on expenses. The reconciliation process for each individual expense claim placed a particular strain on the Finance team and took out 4 working days of time a month. The company also lacked visibility of their travellers which caused concerns over duty of care. The lack of policy and compliance also contributed to increased costs and concerns about best value.
Gray Dawes Head of Sales met with JDX Consulting to understand their key requirement’s; a local personal service, travel policy development, value for money, visibility of their travellers, a succinct payment mechanism. She then developed a JDX specific Scope of Services document which detailed our offering. A kick-off implementation call was scheduled which included; Lead Consultant, Operations Manager, Head of Sales, JDX Travel lead, Implementation Manager.
Developed travel policy, bench-marked against similar clients
Established rate caps for hotels in key locations
Set up account facility meaning only one payment per month
Ability to book travel throughout the implementation period
Developed traveller profiling tool

Travel Talks – How Corporate Travel is Becoming More Personalised
Business travellers are demanding – and expecting – much more personalised travel experiences. We’re joined by United Airlines to examine how the industry is evolving in order to deliver unique services and experiences for corporate travellers, based on their individual preferences, selections and destinations.
The ROI of Business Travel
Business travel is often viewed as a cost to manage, especially in uncertain economic times, but when approached with clear intent, it becomes a powerful driver of business success. Purpose-driven travel strengthens relationships, accelerates revenue opportunities, and enables collaboration in ways that virtual interactions cannot fully replicate. By focusing on value rather than volume, organisations can unlock long-term growth, improve operational efficiency, and ensure every trip contributes meaningfully to strategic objectives.
