Mint expands services to include events

Burnley-based Mint Business Travel has added event management to its offering after striking a deal with Right Events.

Through the new partnership deal, Manchester's Right Events will be offered as an extended service, including a range of event management tools from venue and supplier sourcing through to stand building, audio visual hire and GDPR compliant online registration for delegates.

The collaboration is the latest strategic move for the expanding business travel operator, which was launched earlier this year.

Steve Hall, managing director at Mint Business Travel, says: “The UK business travel market is currently valued at £39bn each year, and by providing an end-to-end service with an emphasis on quality service, systems and value for money this partnership aims to attract both SMEs and large corporations."

Barry McTierney, events and projects director at Right Events, added: “The ability to deliver the ‘one-stop-shop’ solution is the target of every established and new agency across the meetings, incentives, conferences, and events and travel markets. "This partnership gives Mint Business Travel’s clients an outstanding opportunity to run their full travel and events programme through dedicated and established professional services.”
