Business travel management, handled properly
Wayte Travel has been in the business of business travel since 1980. That’s more than 45 years of getting straight through to your own named contact, someone who already knows your business and gives you straight, honest answers. No call centres. No queuing. No guesswork.
What we do differently
We book directly through the major Global Distribution Systems, so your journeys are handled by people who know the systems inside out. We’re not just an algorithm.
Every account gets a named agent who knows your business, your needs and your people. That’s true, whether you’re a single-site local business or a multinational corporation and whether your sector is construction, healthcare, financial services or beyond.
That’s why we can always build a travel programme that suits how your business actually works. Whether it’s one employee booking a return rail journey for a client meeting, or a 40-person sales team flying out for a week-long conference, we’ve got you covered.
And you also have an online booking tool for the straightforward stuff that doesn’t require a phone call.
Unlike some business Travel agencies, Wayte goes that extra mile so you don’t have to!
Business travel built around the people who travel
Behind every booking is a Wayte Travel agent who’s gone the distance! Our team’s average length of service with us is over fourteen years. So, whether your contact is Brenda, Nikkie, Sharon or anyone from our team, you can expect to talk to them every time you ring and again next year. Plus, there’s likely no problem they haven’t sorted before.
Think of us as your in-house business travel team, not just as an outside supplier. Your goals are our goals!
Technology plays its part, of course. Our online booking tool handles straightforward journeys, so your people can book quickly without needing to pick up the phone. Then, our agents take care of the more complicated or sensitive trips.
This isn’t about going purely digital. It’s a personal, white-glove, hands-on service that is made better by the technology behind it.
We also offer round-the-clock cover if something changes mid-journey.
Specialist travel for marine, energy, finance and professional services
No two industries travel the same way; so treating them like they do is how service starts to slip. We’ve built specialist knowledge in the sectors that need it most:
Marine
Crew changes and rig rotations don’t run to a fixed diary. When change happens, it happens quickly. Whatever the weather, our marine service is built for the reroute, not just the routine booking.
Energy
Offshore and energy travel means covering remote locations at short notice, often with safety and compliance requirements stacked on top. We handle the logistics so your teams get where they’re needed, on time.
Financial Services
Time is money! We understand that financial services travel runs on tight schedules, high standards and no room for unpleasant surprises. We ensure your finance team enjoys VAT: value added travel.
Professional Services
When your time is billable, travel that eats into the working day costs more than the ticket. We plan around client commitments, not the other way round, so travel supports the job rather than interrupting it.
Flights, rail, hotels and reporting, all under one roof
Flights, rail, hotels and reporting shouldn’t mean four different suppliers and no end of headaches. We bring it all under one simple account, managed painlessly by one business travel agency.
Air Travel
Fares held, seats sorted and changes handled, plus unrivalled support, even out of hours.
Hotel Booking & Accommodation
Rates are negotiated in advance, so you’re not paying the walk-in price.
Rail Travel
UK and European rail booked alongside your air travel, on the same invoice, so nothing gets missed.
Reporting & Management Information
You’ll see exactly where your travel budget is going and these reports are offered completely free of charge.
Risk Management & Duty of Care
A 24/7 team who know where your people are and what to do when plans fall apart.
What our business travel clients say
This is the kind of thing our clients tell us again and again, when their problems are solved before they’ve even had to ask.
Due to the nature of our business, operating globally, in a fairly fluid environment, often in some of the world’s harshest environments, we need a business travel agency who can react quickly and safely to changing circumstances. We have this in Wayte Travel Management.
My flight from Miami was delayed, which meant I didn't have a hope of making my onward connection… Even before I knew I had a problem, they had already sorted it for me and I managed to get home that same day.
We check-in with over 45 years of experience
We’ve been managing business travel since 1980. In that time the destinations have changed, the technology has changed and the industry has changed… but the job hasn’t: We get people where they need to be, safely, on time and without a headache. We didn’t develop the ability to do this overnight. No, we’ve done that by retaining the skills of our experienced staff and by keeping our promises.
Thinking about changing your business travel agency?
Moving to a new travel management company can feel like a risk. Will the handover be smooth? Will there be a dip in service? Will important details get missed?
We’ve built our switching process to take all those worries off your plate. With one named contact looking after you, a proper handover and our full team supporting you, the sky’s the limit.
Get in touch
Don’t wait in a queue, get straight through. Tell us a bit about how your team travels now and we’ll come back with a straightforward plan to continue and improve the service you’re getting. No jargon, no pressure and no obligation to sign anything before you’re ready.
