Glomex New Year event Jan 2016
Keynote Liam Donnelly, Arval
A lot is happening in the mobility world, especially due to all government regulations with regards to leasing.
In this changed environment the employee has become an important influencer on how he/she uses a mobility budget and therefore the question “what’s new, what stays” is quite relevant.
Arval, who is also a sponsor of Glomex, is one of the top vehicle leasing companies in the Netherlands, as well as abroad, and we are very happy to welcome Liam Donnelly, Managing Director Arval Nederland, as our first keynote speaker of the New Year Event on January 19 2016. Liam took us through the various developments in corporate mobility. The presentation is shared among members in the knowledgebank in the closed member section of the Glomex website.
Keynote Sasja Winters, ING
There is also quite some disruption in corporate travel, such as the steep rise of low cost carriers, but also the New Distribution Capability program of IATA and the recent introduction of the distribution cost charge by Lufthansa. How this is affecting the business travel chain is the central question in the recent research of ING.
We are very pleased that we had the premiere at this Glomex event of the outcome of ING's newest Business Travel research, presented by Sasja Winters, Senior Sectormanager Business Services & Travel of ING. Presentation | Sector Report | More ING reports incl other sectors
Our host Radisson Blu Hotel Amsterdam Airport Schiphol
Steinn Helgason, Corporate Sales Director, welcomed everyone personally and took us through the customer journey of a hotelguest. On behalf of all present, Thank you Radisson Blu for being an excellent host.
Herman Huijer Honorary Partner
We had one other important announcement to make. As memorized earlier, Herman Huijer is the initiator and one of the managing partners of Glomex. In December 2014 he was named “MICE personality of the year”. An acknowledgment for his past of being a corporate travel manager at Ballast Nedam, a roadwarrior with indepth knowledge of the airline industry, he worked for both KLM as well as Saudi Airlines, as well as a seasoned boardmember of for instance GBTA. Furthermore he has been teaching at the World Travel School.
Some of you have noticed that Herman was not that prominently present during the last couple of sessions.Unfortunately his health forced him to take a step back and this will also continue in the time to come.
We obviously would like to thank Herman for being a Founding Father of Glomex and also like to thank him for an excellent cooperation! We like to honor him by naming him Honorary Partner of Glomex!
