ABTN talks to Anderson about CWT's record-breaking sales in 2011 and trends in business travel across its UK, European and global businesses. CWT saw record-breaking sales in 2011 – how did you achieve this? It was a good year and one of the key factors was our 96% client retention rate – we think this is because we are delivering on our promises to clients and that was our first priority in 2011. We also won more than €2.2 billion in new business – this was through either winning additional scope from existing clients or winning new clients. This has set us up in a very good position to grow and get new business in 2012.

Research for CWT's 2012 Travel Management Priorities found that driving savings, which was the top concern of 63% of the 290 managers interviewed, had displaced concerns about compliance. Nick Vournakis, vice president Global CWT Solutions Group, said: 'We are expecting the travel spend to be even more complex in 2012 – additional fees, surcharges and credit card booking fees charged by airlines and other suppliers are making it very difficult for buyers to efficiently and accurately compare the full cost of travel between suppliers.'
