Yachting New Zealand is delighted to announce an exciting new partnership with Executive Travel Group, under the HRG NZ brand.
Executive Travel Group comes on board as an official sponsor, travel provider and partner in Yachting New Zealand’s member benefits programme.
In addition, our new travel partner also becomes a category sponsor at the Volvo Yachting Excellence Awards and from 2015 the Sir Bernard Fergusson Trophy will be awarded to the Executive Travel Group Sailor of the Year.
“I’m really excited to announce our new partnership with Executive Travel Group,” says David Abercrombie, Yachting New Zealand’s Chief Executive. “I have great confidence that they understand the travel needs of our athletes and of sailors travelling around the world for events.”
“Executive Travel Group has a young and enthusiastic team who have shown a willingness to think outside the square and have already created opportunities for Yachting New Zealand. I’m delighted that they will also come on board to support a range of exclusive travel related benefits via the Yachting New Zealand Member Card and mobile app.”
Executive Travel Group Director Kevin Weston says; “We are very excited to be partnering with Yachting New Zealand and the opportunities ahead. Under the HRG NZ (Hogg Robinson Group) brand, we are able to offer global technology, buying power and support for Yachting New Zealand through our offices in 120 countries. Our focus is not only on helping Yachting New Zealand with their travel programme but also providing discounts and benefits to the wider sailing community.”
“We have found David and the team at Yachting New Zealand to be very professional and forward thinking in their approach to this partnership and we look forward to working with them to achieve some fantastic results together."
