BCD integrates operations to power up global presence

TWO heads are better than one, goes the adage, and BCD Meetings & Events is taking that advice to heart with the merger of its two operational units.

The company issued a statement yesterday to announce that its two operational arms BCD M&I and BCD Travel Group have been merged to form a single entity with more than 700 employees and operations in more than 40 countries.

The integration builds on existing collaborations and eliminates duplication in some products and services for more streamlined service delivery, better leverage with suppliers and a larger pool of meeting and event experts.

Former BCD M&I global president Scott Graf heads up the new incarnation, BCD Meetings & Events.

He said in the statement: “The time was right to integrate these two operational units. While we found great success in meeting market needs with separate meetings and group travel organisations, the new configuration positions us better for future growth and scalability.

“The meetings and events business is booming around the world, and our shareholder is committed to seeking out investment opportunities in the meetings and events space. The new brand positions us for growth,” Graf commented.
