BOOST FOR BUSINESS TRAVEL DUTY OF CARE AS

OMNEPORT & FISHER’S TRAVEL SOS ANNOUNCE PARTNERSHIP

Two unique travel services have today announced a partnership designed to make business travel safer and help corporates and travel management companies better meet their duty of care requirements. 

Omneport (omneport.com) the ultra-secure, online storage facility for business travel documents, and Fisher’s Travel SOS (fisherstravelsos.com), the guides to critical contact information destination by destination, have joined forces to provide travellers with peace of mind in a travel emergency.

Each of Fisher’s guides provides contact details, location and opening hours on local and in some cases national services which might be needed in the event a person suffers a critical or emergency situation.  Delivered as an electronic file (pdf) to a secure Omneport account online, business travellers purchasing the guides will have access when the need is high even if belongings have been lost or stolen. 

The partnership has the additional benefit of providing this vital travel information in an electronic format which is greener, more convenient and impossible to lose.  For the corporate travel buyer the Omneport and Fisher’s services combine to take the hassle out of ensuring staff have critical information available when on company business abroad.  The two services therefore provide a natural extension of an employer’s requirement to provide a ‘duty of care’.

Commenting on the partnership Gulliver Immink, managing director of Ledma, the company behind Omneport, says:

“Omneport and Fisher’s Travel SOS are perfect partners.  Our services offer the business traveller unrivalled safety, security and access to vital travel information when it’s needed most.  Not only does this bring hassle free peace of mind to the traveller, but an easy and effective way for employers to demonstrate their duty of care.”

Julian Fisher, publisher of Fisher’s Travel SOS, comments:

“When abroad on business and a problem occurs the most simple of situations can become critical if not dealt with quickly and properly. Having solutions to hand removes vulnerability and uncertainty. Which, whilst it could save the business trip or a deal, it could also quite possibly save a life.”
