Booking system firm Traveltek to create 200 jobs in expansion

A travel booking system company has announced plans to create up to 200 jobs.

Traveltek is seeking to boost its current staff of around 100, with the majority of the new roles based at the firm’s headquarters in East Kilbride.

Three new offices will be opened in Sao Paulo, Shanghai and Dubai as part of a three-year expansion plan.

The company, which provides bespoke booking systems for operators including Trailfinders and Barrhead Travel, already has offices in Miami, Sydney and Hyderabad in India.

Kenny Picken, Traveltek president and group managing director, said: “We have a strong position as the booking systems supplier of choice for many of the major travel trade businesses.

“There is a significant opportunity to leverage that position and develop Traveltek into a major global technology business.

“Growth finance will enable us to accelerate that process, build a larger global footprint and create a large number of high-quality technology jobs, many of which will be in Scotland.”
