Corporate Travel Management Ltd is a travel management company.[1][2]
History
The company expanded into North America in 2020 following the acquisition of an Omaha-based TMC called Travel & Transport.[3]
On 26 February 2021, the UK-based Good Law Project reported that CTM had been awarded 'two lucrative Covid-related contracts with the UK government'. It cited CTM founder Jamie Pherous in an interview with the Financial Review confirming the first contract was awarded following 'calls from a person “close to” [then] Prime Minister Boris Johnson. “They’ve just basically said. ‘We’ve got this problem. Can you solve it for us? We went, ‘Yeah, absolutely. Give us 12 hours.’”[4][5]
In December 2021, CTM announced the acquisition of the Helloworld Travel Group's corporate and entertainment brands.[1]
In June 2023, the Independent reported CTM had been awarded a £1.6 billion contract to house asylum-seekers in the UK, including on barges.[6] The Bibby Stockholm barge, subcontracted by CTM[7] at Portland Port, Dorset, began housing asylum-seekers on 7 August 2023, amid concerns about fire risks[8] and other safety concerns.[9] On 11 August 2023, the 39 asylum-seekers accommodated on the Bibby Stockholm were evacuated following positive tests for legionella on board.[10]
In July 2023, ethical fund Future Superhas told the Guardian Australia it would 'divest its holdings in CTM due to concerns' over the CTM's involvement in the Bibby Stockholm.[11]
