This evening at the Bulgari London Hotel, the CAP Worldwide leadership team, led by Jo Layton, launched their new brand and shared the company’s ‘why’ with friends, supporters and sponsors of the business.

She says ‘I have been totally overwhelmed by the sheer amount of goodwill shown by our clients, colleagues, partners and friends in the industry, it has been a truly uplifting experience and has shown just how incredibly supportive the travel community is, it truly does look after its own’.
Andrew Hopgood, co-owner of CAP Worldwide and the architect of the “Capture” technology platform said ‘This has been an exciting journey already. As a team, we have the experience and knowledge of building successful and sustainable global programmes, and Capture has been custom-built with workflows and automation to deliver a consistent and responsive service, while also producing great data which enables us to provide actionable insights to our clients to ensure their programmes continue to evolve’.
Kate Scott, fellow Director at CAP and responsible for global implementation and client management adds ‘We believe successful implementation is at the centre of a great long-stay programme, a focus on building the foundation for the programme to rest on is critical, and my objective is to ensure ease of booking, data security, traveller tracking and accurate data is delivered.
Francine Migliorati, Director at CAP and responsible for traveller well-being and services adds ‘The CAP team is constantly focused on ensuring that the programmes we develop, no matter how big or small, are always balanced carefully between traveller needs, client requirements and our technology. Our technology is current and fresh and enhances the experience of the traveller, however our focus is on providing caring service and safe solutions – our travellers are at the heart of our business’.
