In early November, Green Motion’s International Conference celebrated 15 years since the launch of the brand. Held in London’s Canary Wharf, the management team was joined by over 150 of its franchise partners from around the world and shared the company’s vision for further business expansion and profitability.
The conference was supported by celebrity guest presenters, along with industry professionals from brands like Booking.com, Expedia, Priceline, and CarTrawler which delivered their expert insights.
Additionally, Green Motion attended this year’s World Travel Market. The company discussed the launch of five new markets – four for Green Motion and one for its newly acquired American car rental brand U-Save in Jamaica. The World Travel Market was the first public outing as partner brands for Green Motion and U-Save.
“This year’s conference was our single most successful yet and having the opportunity to bring our network together in person after two and a half years was tremendous,” said Richard Lowden, founder and CEO of Green Motion International. “It was great to share our latest exclusive technologies, products and services, and vision for 2023 and beyond.”
“Our birthday celebration was then followed by one of the best World Travel Markets that we have had in our history with us, welcoming multiple new franchise partners to the family, with hopefully more to follow in the very near future,” added Lowden.
