Your Travel Corporate (YTC) is proud to announce that it has achieved BTA Accreditation, an independently assessed standard from The Business Travel Association (BTA), providing businesses with greater confidence when selecting a Travel Management Company.
The achievement marks another important milestone for YTC following the decision to join the BTA in 2025 and reinforces the company’s commitment to delivering trusted, professional and resilient corporate travel management.
BTA Accreditation provides travel buyers and procurement teams with a consistent benchmark when evaluating Travel Management Companies (TMCs).
To achieve accreditation, YTC demonstrated compliance across six core standards: business stability and governance, insurance and financial protection, data protection and privacy, professional competence, client service standards, and business continuity.
John Stephenson, Managing Director of YTC, said:
“Achieving BTA Accreditation is something we’re incredibly proud of. It provides independent recognition of the standards our team works hard to maintain every day.
“Trust is fundamental in corporate travel. Our clients need to know that the TMC looking after their people and travel programme has robust processes in place, protects their data, can respond when disruption happens and consistently delivers a high standard of service.
“This accreditation gives our existing and prospective clients further reassurance that YTC has been assessed against recognised industry standards, while reflecting our commitment to continually improving the way we support our clients and their travellers.”
Clive Wratten, CEO of The Business Travel Association, said:
“We are delighted to see YTC achieve BTA Accreditation. The scheme was created to give corporate buyers a clear and credible benchmark when selecting a TMC, while recognising those businesses committed to maintaining high professional standards.
“YTC’s accreditation demonstrates its commitment to the standards that matter to clients, from service and professional competence to data protection, financial stability and business continuity. We congratulate John and the entire YTC team on this achievement.”
BUILDING ON YTC’S BTA MEMBERSHIP
YTC joined the BTA in 2025, becoming part of its network of TMCs and adding its voice to the BTA’s work across the UK business travel sector.
Achieving BTA Accreditation represents the next step in that relationship and provides independent reassurance for organisations considering YTC as their corporate travel partner.
Accreditation is valid for two years, after which TMCs must undergo a renewal assessment, helping ensure accredited businesses continue to maintain the required standards.
John added:
“We see accreditation as more than a badge. It is a commitment to maintaining high standards as YTC continues to grow. We’re delighted to have achieved it and look forward to continuing our work with the BTA to help build a stronger and more trusted business travel industry.”
