Introducing Capita Travel and Events

We're not a regular travel, meetings and events company. Of course, we do all the things you'd expect us to, but booking travel, meetings or planning events and helping our customers drive down costs is only the tip of the iceberg of what we do here at Capita Travel and Events

Our heritage spans over four decades, and we've evolved by acquiring some of the UK's leading specialists in business travel, accommodation, meetings and events. Bringing together 850 of the most knowledgeable people in the industry and combining their knowledge and expertise, we've created one powerfully unique business.

But we haven't forgotten what makes Capita Travel and Events a great place to work - brilliant, like-minded people who thrive in a friendly, fast paced atmosphere. If you reckon you could add something to the team and want to be part of our future then get in touch.
