Pacific Brands wins 2010 BTTB Travel Programme of the Year Award

11 May 2010

Pacific Brands was named Travel Programme of the Year at the 2010 BTTB Travel Management Awards.

Category manager Damon Rapke received the award at a gala dinner at the Sofitel Wentworth Sydney on 5th May, sponsored by Qantas.

The marketer of iconic brands such as Dunlop and Bonds was cited for its adoption of online self-booking, achieving 90% adoption within three months; implementation of an automated expense management system, transitioning 4,500 travellers from a multitude of manual expense forms onto a singular, online system over a four-month period; and for the introduction of a comprehensive Traveller Risk Management System, details of which were presented in a workshop at the BTTB Australia conference.

Rapke paid tribute to his colleagues and staff, to his suppliers, including former TMC American Express and current travel manager Voyager Travel, and to his industry peers.

Besides a trophy, Pacific Brands won a business class trip anywhere on the Qantas network to undertake a study tour.
