WINGS Travel
Management
plans to move its
headquarters to London
and commence operations
in Singapore by the end of
the year.
“London will solidify its
position as our global
corporate headquarters
over the next 12 to 18
months and South Africa
will remain our strategic
Africa Middle East (AME)
regional hub, incorporating
Angola, Nigeria, the UAE
and Saudi Arabia,” says
Tony Sofianos, ceo of
Wings Travel Management.
He says South Africa has
always been an important
market for Wings,
accounting for a significant
percentage of its £250m
(R4,3bn) annual global
activity. However, Tony
says because Wings is a
global niche business, the
company constantly needs
to reinvent and focus its
business on other sectors
and markets.
For Wings to adopt
a more global and
sustainable strategy,
Tony believes that London
is better positioned, for
various reasons (some
economic and some
practical) to support
this strategy.
Tony says until his family
move to London in 2018,
he will be commuting
between London and South
Africa and thereafter he
will spend around seven
to ten days a month in
Johannesburg and Africa,
actively involved in the
company’s AME business.
The commencement of
operations in Singapore will
enable the TMC to provide
complete support to the
needs of clients in the Asia
Pacific region.
The changes coincide
with company’s 25th
anniversary this year.
