Corporate Travel Management’s (CTM) dedicated sports travel division, CTM Sport, has announced an extension to its three-year partnership with Premier Sports Network (PSN) to offer specialist sport travel solutions in the North American market.

CTM Sport brings extensive sport travel management expertise to the UK and North American professional sports sectors, having managed the unique and complex travel needs of teams and athletes across a wide range of sports disciplines. CTM’s existing client portfolio includes professional, amateur, and university sporting teams; world-class athletes and individual competitors; local, national and world level sporting events; player associations; and sector governing bodies.

 

In partnership with PSN, CTM Sport offers its expertise in managing team travel, VIP travel, executive business travel, sport event management and supporter travel to PSN’s network of 20,000+ professionals working across more than 40 different sports.

Shelley Matthews, CTM Sport’s EVP Sales and Partnerships, said the extension of CTM Sport’s partnership with PSN presented an exciting opportunity in two of the world’s largest and highest profile sports markets. “We’re delighted to be continuing our partnership as PSN’s official travel partner for the fourth consecutive year and extending our services to PSN’s network in North America too. We’re excited and honoured to provide sports teams and athletes the opportunity to leverage CTM’s extensive global buying power, supplier influence, and intuitive technology to enhance the travel experience for their teams and athletes, as well as the performance of their travel program.

“Having worked closely with PSN in the UK for the past three years, we know the power that PSN’s knowledge and educational resources offer to the sports management sector, and we look forward to continuing to develop our partnership in 2023.”

CTM North America’s Chief Operating Officer, Maureen Brady, said the CTM Sport team was excited to showcase its expertise to PSN’s North American sports partners, recognising the unique travel needs and nuances of the region’s professional athletes and sports organisations. “CTM has extensive experience managing the travel needs of a large and diverse group of sports organistions in both North America and Europe. As one of the largest and most innovative travel companies in the world, we have the size and scale to deliver the most cost-effective and reliable travel programs to sports organisations and their athletes. Most importantly, we understand the impact that an expertly managed travel program can have on an athlete’s ability to perform, as a team or as an individual, and our solutions are dedicated to making sports travel a comfortable, seamless experience so athletes can perform to their potential every single time.”

“We’re delighted to expand our partnership with CTM into the fourth consecutive year. It’s always been a pleasure working with the entire team and as PSN continues to grow across North America, we’re proud to partner with CTM to service the travel requirements of the sports industry across Europe and North America“ – Spencer Hidge, CEO and Founder, Premier Sports Network
