Football Queensland (FQ) is pleased to announce Business First Travel as its Official Travel and Accommodation Partner for 2023.
The Brisbane-based company will be the Official Travel and Accommodation Partner for all FQ representative programs and major events including WinterFest, FQ Academy carnivals, National Futsal Championships and the FQ Community Cup. Business First Travel will also provide corporate and leisure travel for FQ employees, including coaches, educators and administrative staff.
“Delivering growth in commercial partnerships such as this agreement with Business First Travel, is just one way Football Queensland is reinforcing the ‘Unifying Football’ pillar of the 2023-2026 Strategic Plan by forming these connections with the commercial sector,” Football Queensland CEO Robert Cavallucci said.
“The partnership with Business First Travel will see improved administrative efficiencies through Zeno, the very latest cloud-based travel technology which is designed to be user friendly, and to ultimately achieve savings and deliver improved service.
Founding Director Remy Koh said the company is excited to deliver on the state’s football travel and accommodation requirements.
“Our role is to play our small part to ensure football happens; from ensuring players, coaches and staff get to their matches well rested before kick off, to stretching Football Queensland’s budget as far as possible, and then streamlining the accounting and reporting process for head office,” Business First Travel Founding Director Remy Koh said.
“We will achieve this through our use of leading travel technologies, coupled with our team of expert travel managers who are also well versed in the niche requirements of groups and sporting travel.
“We are dedicated to supporting the vision of Unifying Football, as well as the broader One Football Strategy. Football is also a huge passion of mine and it’s through this love of the beautiful game that we can stand by our commitment to put the ‘business of football, First!’
“We are delighted to be the preferred travel supplier for Football Queensland, and we look forward to building a strong working relationship with them as well as the wider football community.”
