Thanks northernlass. Let us hope this landmark China deal will be noticed by the City and the slide in share price reversed. Servicing Unilever in 70 countries should also be starting now. Quite thread and quite company.

Strikes Landmark China Deal

HRG CHINA SIGNS LANDMARK DEAL WITH TRAVELSKY

Hogg Robinson Group (HRG), the award-winning international corporate services company, has signed a distinctive five-year agreement with TravelSky Technology Ltd. This deal grants HRG access to the full version of BlueSky, a software platform developed by TravelSky specifically for corporate travellers, which consists of a Computer Reservation System and online booking tool. With information such as booking details, corporate travel policies and traveller profiles synchronised across the booking system, this seamless integration will benefit clients by allowing them to realise cost savings through increased efficiency and productivity.

Owned by China TravelSky Holding Company, TravelSky Technology Ltd is the preferred GDS provider in China. This ground-breaking partnership deal between HRG and TravelSky designates TravelSky as HRG China's sole GDS provider for the next five years and grants HRG access to the full version of the BlueSky platform. BlueSky comprises a Computer Reservation System designed for travel consultants use and an online booking tool feature that allows clients to book trips with real-time information at their fingertips.

HRG China commented:

"We are very privileged to be able to fully utilise BlueSky's Computer Reservation System and online booking tool. Its ability to provide accurate real-time information makes it the most advanced travel booking system in the Chinese travel market. BlueSky's system enhancements will yield a number of benefits for our clients. Features such as best buy, lowest fare search and itinerary generator will provide a wider, more detailed range of travel options. While traveller profiles, company profiles and waiting lists will increase our travel consultant's productivity by up to 20%."

As booking travel in China is a manual process for travel managers, this seamless integration of information between BlueSky's online booking tool and the Computer Reservation System will shorten the whole travel booking process for both corporations and their travellers, offering them increased convenience and a more efficient and quicker travel approval.

Edison's latest take:-

[wjccghcc] 24/7/2012 14:03

Probably because their pension deficit is nearly the size of the company.

[junglee] 24/7/2012 13:53

Funny, people are waking up to it on the afternoon of the eve of AGM/Interim report...why was it dropped 20% from 70 to 56p in the first place??

Spendvision gains Lloyds Bank as a new client:-



"Lloyds Bank, in partnership with Spendvision, a global provider of total transaction management solutions, has announced it is to provide business customers with an online expense management and payables automation solution."

[napoleon 14th] 19/7/2012 20:55

Agreed. That's why I've stayed in!

[junglee] 19/7/2012 13:52

I also thought that L&G may be getting rid of its holding but volumes since June-end have been pretty low. May be it is acting as depressant to the share price because 56p for an eps of about 9p is too low considering HRG has various government departments (has always been like that)and blue chip multinationals as its major customers. Their international travels in business class hardly stop whatever may be the macro environment!

[napoleon 14th] 19/7/2012 13:23

IMO L&G been unloading, for whatever reason.
Under 3% as @ 280612, but looks like they've carried on since!

[junglee] 18/7/2012 19:12

any reason for its continual decline over the recent days? The share price has now fallen by over 15% on no news and low volume and looks cheap on eps and yield considerations. Perhaps AGM on 25th would change the sentiment.

[napoleon 14th] 20/6/2012 08:04

IMO the price is catching up with consistant financial performance.
Check out investors section on company website...

Chairman says:
"This has been another year of good performance by the Group, with
revenues increasing and profits showing material growth over last
year's results. In its turn this enables the funding of another significant
increase in the dividend, in line with our progressive dividend policy."

Won't set the world alight, but an ideal ISA share...
