A COMPANY which specialises in employee spend management has opened new offices in Crawley.

Concur is now in Astral Towers in Betts Way.

Its UK headquarters is in Maidenhead.

Herman van Waveren, senior director of client support and head of the Crawley office, said: “When it comes to the travel industry in the UK, Crawley is the place to be.

“It hosts the best technical minds in the business as well as some of the biggest brands. Bring all this together and you’ve got a thriving community, one that we’re looking to increase our presence in.

“Crawley is strategically important to our business as we seek to grow our market presence.

“We’ve previously had an office in the Crawley area but our new location will better service the needs of both our customer businesses and ours.”

The Astral Tower also homes major travel companies such as Avios and BA Holidays.
