When you're considering starting your own corporate travel business it's essential to have strong commercial relationships and agreements with suppliers, giving you the ability to provide the travel solution your clients require at competitive prices.
London-based Travel Counsellor, Matt Tamayo-Myerson, left this previous role to become a Corporate Travel Counsellor in 2009 . We caught up with him to find out how he balances running a very successful business with being a dad to his three children.
