Two leading businesses in Coventry and Warwickshire have teamed up for the first time on a major event to jet high-flyers from around the UK on a dream trip overseas.

Corporate travel incentive specialists TMG Events, part of Leamington-based Travel Management Group, is organising a trip to Asia on behalf of Peugeot, whose UK headquarters are in Coventry.

Peugeot's top-performing dealers in the UK will be rewarded with a week on the paradise island of Bintan and neighbouring Singapore in recognition of their achievements.

Rachel Emerson, account manager at TMG Events, said: "It is a big win for us to be awarded this event.

"Unlike a lot of other car companies which cut their event budgets during the recession, Peugeot has continued. They are involved in such a wide range of events, from product launches to high-end activities, there is a lot of scope.

"It's great to be working with Peugeot, particularly as they are a company that is local to us, and we hope that our relationship develops from here."

It is the first major incentive trip organised by the events division of the leading travel company for Peugeot.  Since securing the business, TMG Events has also arranged accommodation and flight bookings for an event in Spain for the car manufacturer.

Rachel believes their success primarily lay in identifying a location and creating a tailored programme that matched Peugeot's specific requirements, such as flight time and rest and relaxation opportunities.

The group of 140 travellers, which will include the top 65 Peugeot dealers along with partners and hosts, will be staying on the relatively undiscovered island of Bintan for the duration of the trip in June.

Their week to remember will end with a day at the races in Singapore, followed by a visit to the world-famous Raffles Hotel.

Louise Dowling, Peugeot dealer events and incentives manager, said: "TMG Events hit the brief completely in respect of finding somewhere different.  Not many people have heard of Bintan and of those that have, very few have been there.

"An event such as this is very important in terms of motivation, particularly when times are difficult, and this trip recognises the achievements of Peugeot's dealers."
