International corporate travel services company, Hogg Robinson Group (HRG), has today announced the appointment of two new partners in Africa: Hull Blyth in Angola and O-VOYAGES in Côte d'Ivoire.
With over 150 years experience of operating in Angola, Hull Blyth in Angola is a highly respected travel services provider with a network of offices across Angola including Luanda, Lobito, Cabinda, Soyo and Namibe.
A Portuguese colony from the 16th century through to 1975, Angola has undergone a period of transformation in recent years and is now the second fastest growing economy in Africa and one of the fastest in the world.
Established in August 2004, O-VOYAGES Côte d'Ivoire is part of the Olizair Group, a specialist in airline representation in West and Central Africa. With a network of agencies in Côte d'Ivoire, Benin and Togo, O-VOYAGES Côte d'Ivoire is headquartered in the business centre of Abidjan, and has an office within Côte d'Ivoire's international airport Felix Houphouet Boigny.
Côte d'Ivoire is a country of extraordinary cultural richness; infrastructure is good with a network of more than 8,000 miles of paved roads and two active ports including Abidjan, the largest port between Casablanca and Cape Town; and there is a regular air service within the region to and from Europe.
David Radcliffe, Chief Executive of HRG, said: "The addition of two new partners in the African market significantly strengthens our presence there with representation now in over 20 countries across the continent. Their local expertise will enable us to provide the superior standard of service that our clients have come to expect there while allowing us to extend the benefits and expertise of HRG's global capabilities. They are a welcome addition to our worldwide network."
