Rachel Reeves set out the 2025 Budget in the House of Commons yesterday.

Here’s a review of the key points that affect UK-based business travellers, on flights, on trains, by car and taking hotel stays.

Global Travel Management has introduced Trip Risk Alerts to keep business travellers and their colleagues up to date on geopolitical travel risks.

Business travel has never been more essential - or more complex. While organisations work hard to fulfil their duty of care, staying fully informed in real time is often the biggest challenge.

We’re excited to open up our Trip Risk Alerts service to any individual across our customer companies - free of charge.

Business travel is a cornerstone of the UK economy - enabling exports, inward investment and the innovation that drives national growth. It contributes more than £27 billion in annual value and supports over 280,000 jobs, yet it rarely receives the recognition or policy support it deserves.

Here are the ten areas we believe the Chancellor should prioritise in the Budget - with a clear eye on boosting business travel and thus reinforcing the UK’s export and trade ambitions.

The recent US-UK Tech Prosperity Deal, announced at a historic press conference at Chequers by UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and US President Donald Trump, marks a pivotal moment for transatlantic collaboration in artificial intelligence.

We take a look at what this deal means for transatlantic business travel.

No longer just a place to sleep between meetings, hotels are evolving into workspaces, collaboration hubs, and wellness centres designed around the new modes of work.

For today’s UK business traveller, that means greater flexibility, enhanced productivity, and the opportunity to blend work and leisure more seamlessly than ever before.

As global business travel surges - projected to reach £1.2 trillion in spending by 2026 - companies face a critical decision: entrust their travel needs to a large, global travel management company (TMC) or partner with an agile, SME-sized provider like Global Travel Management.

Global Travel Management Ltd Sales Director Paul Baker shares his views on British Airways boosting punctuality.

Airport technology is advancing at pace, with new innovations designed to speed up security, streamline check-in and reduce time spent waiting at gates. If you travel regularly for business, staying on top of these changes can mean the difference between a seamless trip and unnecessary delays.

In the fast-paced Travel Management Company (TMC) world, compliance with airline regulations is a critical, yet often overlooked, aspect of airline booking management. One particularly thorny issue is the rules around airline Point of Commencement (POC) violations - a breach of an airline's booking guidelines can result in hefty penalty charges to TMCs.

The global travel landscape can be unpredictable, with even established airlines facing financial turbulence. For business travellers, an airline bankruptcy or sudden cessation of operations can have significant consequences, such as monetary losses from cancelled tickets or being stranded away from home.

This month, Global Travel Management Ltd has achieved a remarkable milestone, thanks to the GTM Carbon Offset Programme and the clients who have used the programme to ameliorate the effects of greenhouse gas emissions.
