Louise Ellman, Chairman of the House of Commons Transport Committe, and Anne Godfrey
GUILD OF TRAVEL MANAGEMENT COMPANIES new Chief Executive Anne Godfrey, very proudly from Glasgow, led the launch of its first ever Business Travel Manifesto last week. Held at the Institute of Civil Engineers, Westminster, it was attended by senior transport spokespeople from both political parties, and the House of Lords, as well as member companies. The briefing heard the results compiled from a survey of 1,250 business travellers. Whilst a high speed rail network was called for there was much criticism of train (and airport) terminals and the lack of wireless and power points. Low cost airlines were used by 20% of those surveyed. On-day rail travel was criticised for its high cost. www.gtmc.org
