Receiving the award on behalf of the organisation, Group Managing Director of Finchglow Holdings, Mr. Bankole Bernard, reflected on the significance of this achievement.

Throughout our journey, we have consistently approached travel management through the lens of relevance, responsiveness, and continuous reinvention. This recognition reinforces our determination to continue pushing boundaries and setting new industry benchmarks.”

“We understand that recognition of this magnitude brings with it increased responsibility and heightened expectations. Rather than becoming complacent with this achievement, we view it as a launch to propel us towards even more ambitious goals. Our vision extends far beyond current successes. We‘re actively building toward a future where FCM Nigeria serves as the definitive standard for travel management excellence, not only in Nigeria, but across the African continent and beyond.”
