Global independent travel management company Take2Eton Group is opening a new operation in Aberdeen as it expands its specialist energy and marine travel business across the Atlantic. Leading the Aberdeen operation is newly-appointed EVP Energy & Marine Graeme Fyvie, one of the city's best-known specialist business travel figures, who brings 32 years' industry experience and an extensive track record within the local energy and marine market. Fyvie will take up his new role on 2 November 2026 and report to Julie Oliver, CEO, Take2Eton Group. The investment in Aberdeen builds on Take2Eton's established energy and marine business in Texas, which has been operating successfully for the past three years and currently manages a client portfolio with a combined multi-million-dollar travel spend. The move gives Take2Eton specialist energy and marine capabilities in two major international energy centres and creates a platform from which the company plans to grow its business in Aberdeen, Scotland and the wider international market. Fyvie joins Take2Eton following 14 years with Reed & Mackay. He originally joined the company as Operations Manager in 2013 with responsibility for establishing its Aberdeen office and developing its offering to Scottish clients, particularly within energy and marine. He subsequently became General Manager of the energy division in 2024. His earlier career included roles with HRG, American Express Travel and Munros Travel. Fyvie also plays an active role in Scotland's travel industry. He was elected to the Scottish Passenger Agents Association Council in 2025 and became Air Convenor in January 2026, when he founded the Aberdeen Business Travel Focus Group. Chris Thelen, Founder + Chair, Take2Eton Group, said: "Aberdeen is an enormously important market for energy and marine and we see significant potential here. But we aren't entering the sector from a standing start. We already have a successful energy and marine operation in Texas, and our ambition is to connect that experience with exceptional local expertise in Aberdeen." In case you missed it: "Graeme's knowledge, reputation and relationships within the Aberdeen market are second to none. He also shares our commitment to highly personal, responsive customer service, which makes him the ideal person to lead this next stage of our growth." Fyvie commented: "Aberdeen has been at the heart of my career for many years, so I'm hugely excited to have the opportunity to build something here with Take2Eton." "The company already has strong foundations in the energy and marine sector through its US business. We can now combine that experience with deep knowledge of the Aberdeen market and the very particular travel requirements of businesses operating within this sector. I'm looking forward to reconnecting with clients, suppliers and colleagues across the market and building the next stage of Take2Eton's energy and marine business."

Navan COO Nina Herold will become CEO of Reed & Mackay later this year, as Fred Stratford, the travel management company's longtime CEO, retires, the company announced.
