NWL - NWL have approx. 3000 employees with offices spread across the northeast of England, Essex, and Suffolk. In addition, we have operations in Scotland, Cork Ireland and Gibraltar.

A travel system was introduced in late 2018, prior to that, employees were issued with Barclaycards. Currently out of scope of this requirement for NWL are Meetings and Events, Taxi requirements and Car rental. NWL have a travel policy in place which placed restrictions for standard class travel only and hotel limits.

Pre Covid, 2019 Spend on travel was in the region of £800,000 per annum. Travel services include Trains(5000 transactions), flights (200 transactions) and hotel accommodation (2300 transactions). We have started to see an increase in the volume over the last few months. It is difficult to estimate our future spend, however we do expect that the trend will continue to increase to in the region of £400,000 to £500,000 by the end of 2022
