Our shared objective is to maximise your program performance and effectiveness and accelerate your business success.
SME business travel agency strategy
The pandemic has resulted in many small and medium size enterprises losing exceptional talent that may never return. As our industry starts to recover, senior commercial resources are at a premium. The larger travel management companies will grow exponentially mainly through a series of merges and acquisitions and continued new client growth. In our experience, SME business travel agencies are facing an increasingly uphill road to compete for business with the larger business travel agencies. SME’s still have a competitive advantage though exceptional service and longevity of their front-line travel consultants, however with the loss of senior commercial talent and limitations on product investment, how does an SME business travel agency compete in the future? Here at Avenue5 Consulting we have experienced commercial travel management consulting resources who have deep expertise in business strategy, customer relationship management and sales and marketing. We can assess and review your entire organization or certain elements that require attention. Our team works on a project basis or time-limited outsource and is entirely personalized to your requirements.

Inspiring the next generation of young professionals ensures that our industry continues to positively evolve with exciting and motivated talent. We also offer mentoring to young professionals who are ready to take the next steps into a management position and are looking for a helping hand. We are inspired by many organizations such as Women in travel (WINIT) and Fast Forward 15 who focus on driving positive change for the career mobility for women in travel related industries. As one of the top management consulting firms, we also want to provide impartial advice and support in career progression. Such is our passion for learning and development, Avenue5 Consulting do not charge fees for this area of our business.
