SELECTIVE Travel Management has been appointed to provide and manage the £5 million travel budget on behalf of the University of York and another £500,000 budget for York St John’s University.
The contract wins follow a European-wide tendering process, and complete a record-breaking year of business for the north's largest independent travel management company.
Selective's managing director Keith Graham said: “Competing and winning at a European level sets the seal on our achievements in 2016 and tees us up for further growth in the year to come.
“The University of York is a member of the elite Russell Group of Universities, made up of 24 leading researched-based universities, of which Selective Travel already services seven.
"It is a dynamic, research-intensive university committed to the development of life-saving discoveries and new technologies which will tackle some of the most pressing global challenges, while York St John’s University is well known for its academic excellence, strong community spirit and magnificent campus.”
In the last year Selective Travel has experienced almost unprecedented new business growth. Corporate increase for the financial year saw a turnover growth of 42 per cent, taking 2016 sales to £42 million, reinforcing its position as an increasingly strong and influential player in the UK.
