About Focus Travel Partnership
Focus Travel Partnership is the leading UK business travel consortium for the independent and SME sector and represents 45 Travel Management Company (TMC) Partners with a total turnover of over £1.2 billion. Focus leverages advanced technology platforms and a comprehensive suite of services to support its TMC Partners, enabling them to future-proof and grow their businesses. The collective size and buying power of the partnership, along with its long-established industry leading corporate air programme, enables Focus to negotiate the best possible commercial deals with suppliers across all sectors. The continued strength of Focus Travel Partnership – reflected in its TMC Partner community, extensive supplier network, and buy-in from all major global airlines – remains unmatched by any other UK consortium.
Focus Travel Partnership was founded in 1999 by a handful of TMCs who aspired to create a Partnership that was solely designed to serve the needs of the corporate traveller.
We provide a collaborative voice on industry issues, such as content distribution, the latest developments in travel technology, sustainability, duty of care and traveller wellbeing, all of which provide exceptional value in the business travel marketplace as well as the wider supplier chain.
The Focus Travel Partnership has a Board of Directors who oversee the strategy and direction of the consortium, ensuring that the objectives of our combined TMC Partners are achieved.
The Partnership is at the forefront of innovation and technological developments such as Focus’ FareFinder product – a desktop tool enabling TMC Partners to find the best airfares in the market – undercutting leading trade and consumer competitors. The Focus Innovation Group was launched in Sep 2023 by Business Solutions Manager, Tony Edge.
We provide an important forum for TMC Partners and Suppliers to meet and conduct business and as a result, organise a number of regional and national events. These include three flagship events across the year usually in Spring, Summer and Autumn.
In 2019 the organisation became a limited company. In March 2025, Adrian Parkes was re-appointed as interim Non-Executive Chair.
