Rapid Accommodation & Travel Company Rapidly Expands

Rapid Accommodation & Travel specialists has just announced an exciting office expansion at Laceby Business Park.

Due to rapid growth within the travel services sector, the company will be doubling its office space and expanding the travel team by 100%.

Director, Linda Anderson-Smith said: "We pride ourselves at Rapid for our unique customer offering, we are Passionate, Professional and Personable – and by striving to improve our unique business travel and accommodation booking platform that we've named RORI, we are providing the ultimate 24/7 booking service, providing business travel options on tap, from the click of a button."

Rapid moved to Laceby Business Park in February 2018 to accommodate business needs. Since doubling the team and adding to customer offerings, they are subsequently doubling the size of its offices; taking on business Suite 5 in March this year.

The letting was handled by Lawrence Brown from Scotts Property, who said: "It is great to see Rapid Accommodation grow and clearly the facilities and accommodation on offer at Laceby Business Park were ideally suited for them. They have now taken on the same amount of space that they currently occupy, effectively doubling the amount of accommodation they have."

Rapid provides travel and accommodation services, and has staff travelling all over the UK and indeed the globe, making travel arrangements, sorting out accommodation, hotels etc and providing a stress-free package, even working with companies to build their travel policy plans.

Mr Brown continued: "It is exciting times at Laceby Business Park. We are seeing occupiers express confidence and the convenient location and nearby facilities means that we have a ready number of enquiries."

Ms Anderson-Smith concluded: "We see our business continuing to expand in future years. The growth of the offshore industry, chemical sectors and food industries in the locality is such that we are able to provide that one-stop shop solution to the operators of these businesses both locally and internationally. Rapid's travel platform therefore allows us to tailor our client needs in a cost-effective way, for Corporates and SME's. We think it's great here!"
