Travelling With You
Before, during and after every trip, we’re with with Freightliner all the way
My name is Daniel Fido and I’m delighted to introduce myself as Freightliner’s dedicated Account Manager. From the start, you can be confident that the service you’ll be getting isn’t just tailored to exceed your expectations, it’s guaranteed to make you smile. Think of us as an extension of your own organisation; the out-of-house Freightliner travel team!
My role as your travel partner is to uncover what value means to Freightliner and create an Extra Mile Programme specifically to underpin how we’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!

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
Let’s get you started booking business travel.
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.
