The AOC welcomes Reed and Mackay as official Team Supplier for corporate travel, as the long-time travel partner Concierge Business Travel announced it will operate under its parent company brand of Reed and Mackay.
Concierge Business Travel, acquired by Reed and Mackay in 2019, has provided the Australian Olympic travel logistics since 2013, including coordinating more than 800 athletes, officials and team members for Rio 2016, and both the Sochi 2014 and Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympic Teams.
The partnership was recently extended until September 2021 to allow continued planning for the delayed Tokyo Olympics.
AOC CEO Matt Carroll said he looks forward to Reed and Mackay providing the same world-class travel logistics delivered since 2013 by Concierge Business Travel.
“The AOC is pleased to continue a great partnership working with the same people, and we’re delighted to welcome Reed & Mackay to be a part of the Olympic family as an official Team supplier,” Mr Carroll said.
“Concierge Business Travel has played an important role in the readiness of our Olympic Teams for these past 7 years.
“It’s no easy task coordinating the travel of an entire Olympic Team and officials. I am sure Reed & Mackay will deliver the excellent service we have received from Concierge in the past, ensuring our Olympic Team will arrive in Tokyo next year with nothing left to chance.
David Greenland, Managing Director Australia of Reed & Mackay, was excited to continue supporting athletes and teams on their Olympic journey.
“The Olympics makes us a better organisation and the extension of our partnership is a great endorsement of the service our team has delivered over these past 7 years,” Mr Greenland said.
“I’m very proud of our partnership with the Australian Olympic Committee and am delighted it will continue under the Reed & Mackay brand.”
“Reed & Mackay are no strangers to the Olympic movement having managed, and continuing to manage, the travel needs of both the Finnish and Irish teams”.
