Beyond Business Travel is a specialist corporate travel partner helping Irish businesses plan and manage travel with confidence. With offices in Dublin and Belfast, the company has a long-standing presence in the Irish market and supports clients such as CDE, Almac and Options. Travel ex-Ireland is a core strength, underpinned by direct airline agreements from Dublin and Belfast and competitive hotel rates sourced locally and internationally.
From One‑Off Trips to Strategic Travel Management
Many Irish companies still treat business travel as a series of ad‑hoc bookings; Beyond Business Travel turns that into a fully managed programme. Travel managers access a single digital platform for sourcing, booking, tracking, policy compliance, approvals and reporting, giving them control over every aspect of the programme. Online booking tools are configured around each organisation’s travel policy, job roles, approval flows and preferred suppliers, rather than forcing teams to adapt to a rigid, off‑the‑shelf system.
All travel spend runs through one controlled programme, supported by a single consolidated invoice that covers every trip. In‑house 24‑hour support keeps travellers productive and safe, while internal travel managers gain the tools, reporting and specialist backup they need to engage confidently at board level.
People, Technology and Duty of Care
Each client is supported by a dedicated account or client success manager and a team of experienced travel consultants. These specialists build complete itineraries covering air, rail, hotels, car hire, conferences and more for travelling engineers, quantity surveyors, project leads and wider teams. Group travel experts coordinate movements for crews, subcontractors and project teams, helping to minimise downtime, last‑minute changes and no‑shows.
Interactive dashboards provide clear visibility of spend, savings and traveller location, enabling travel managers to challenge non‑compliance and meet their duty‑of‑care obligations. This blend of people and technology ensures travel policies are not only documented but actively lived across the organisation.
Growth Backed by a Global Events Leader
Beyond Business Travel is currently on a strong growth trajectory following its acquisition by Identity, a globally recognised events agency. Identity delivers major international experiences, including the World Economic Forum and London’s New Year’s Eve fireworks, and its backing gives Beyond Business Travel a powerful platform for expansion. As part of this growth journey, the business is investing in new roles across Ireland and positioning itself as the preferred business travel agency for Irish corporates and travel professionals.
Local Leadership and Innovation in Dublin
Dublin-based Paul Kelly recently joined the company as Systems and Automations Lead, bringing 25 years of experience in the travel sector. He focuses on turning complex operational challenges into scalable, automated solutions that improve efficiency, visibility and the overall user experience.
“There is a real opportunity to craft online booking solutions tailored to the Irish corporate travel and events market,” says Kelly. “We’re delighted to be working with ICC Belfast as a travel fulfilment partner for their events, and our ability to build bespoke online booking tools truly sets us apart. My role is to listen closely to clients and ensure we deliver continuous innovation that keeps their travel programmes ahead of the curve.”
