Hotelzon UK has won the contract to provide hotel
accommodation and conference services, together with all other travel
requirements, to Land Securities Group PLC, the largest quoted property
company in the UK. Land Securities wanted to instigate a complete Group-wide business
travel service managed by a single supplier.  Hotelzon created a
one-stop service solution with Ealing Travel Services (ETS) to provide a
complete package to Land Securities staff nationwide including hotel,
conferencing, air, hire-car and train reservations.  The latter includes
innovative ticket printing machines installed at Land Securities offices
so that staff can go on-line, chose the most cost-effective way of
travelling tailored to their individual needs, and physically print the
ticket. 

Clive Dedman, Procurement team leader, Land Securities, says:

“Hotelzon will provide us with online real-time access to the latest
information on availability and best rates and fares on a worldwide
basis. Hotelzon is a leader in the corporate market and we are looking
forward to working together. It will not only save time by not having to
research the internet to find best deals but, for rail, also enables a
ticket to be handed to the traveller, avoiding the lengthy queues at
railway stations e ticket machines.”

Erik Floman, CEO of Hotelzon International, adds:

“We are very excited to be working with Land Securities.  This contract,
although originally led by our hotels and meeting offering, has been won
by us demonstrating that our account management expertise together with
our understanding of travel technology and its application, will deliver
an integrated service by specialist suppliers.”
