Garber | FCm to Re-brand to FCm Travel Solutions.

Garber | FCm Travel Solutions announced this week the plan to complete a full re-brand to adopt the name and management of FCm Travel Solutions.

Roz Garber, President and CEO of Garber | FCm Travel Solutions said “What we were discovering was that corporate travel clients wanted to work with a travel management company that could provide them with local service and a consolidated program management on a global scale.”

In early 2007, FCm Travel Solutions purchased a 26% investment in Garber Travel. “FCm is now recognized as one of the top travel management brands around the world. More and more, it is the reason why a client selects us and – equally important – why many have chosen to stay with us.” says Ms. Garber.

Through the process of the re-branding, Garber | FCm will be fully integrated into the sales, marketing and operational strategies of FCm Travel Solutions. This will capitalize on the brand’s strength and will better serve their existing clients and attract new business.

Gregory Lording, President of FCm Travel Solutions USA, will be the overall leader of the business and its operations. Gregory is a veteran of the corporate travel industry with more than 25 years experience. He has spent the past nine years in senior management positions with FCm Travel Solutions and parent company Flight Centre Limited (FCL). Roz Garber will serve as Chair of the Board.

Garber Travel will continue to be the leisure travel brand of the re-branded organization.

“Personally, I’m pleased to keep the Garber name for consumer travel and, professionally, I’m equally pleased to recognize the evolution of our corporate travel management services into FCm Travel Solutions,” said Ms. Garber. “Time and time again, client after client, country upon country, together we’ve proven our ability to deliver local service and effective, consolidated program management on a global scale. That’s what FCm Travel Solutions is all about.”

FCm Travel Solutions will now have operations in Arizona, California, Hawaii, Illinois, Kansas, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Texas, Washington, Virginia. FCm Travel Solutions USA is headquartered in Chicago, IL.
