Around one hundred guests, including corporate clients and suppliers, are joining Furlong-Fox at the British Embassy in Buenos Aires on Thursday, 5th October to celebrate the launch of HRG Argentina. Following its decision to join the HRG worldwide network, Furlong-Fox will be changing the name of its corporate travel business to HRG Argentina.
Mario Zirolli, President of HRG Argentina, commented: “We are delighted that so many of our business partners are able to join us and help to celebrate Furlong-Fox’s corporate travel division officially joining the HRG worldwide network. I’m also pleased that Roger Westwood, Hogg Robinson Group’s Overseas Investments Director, has flown over from the UK specifically to be with us at this special time.”
Mr Zirolli continued: “The adoption of HRG’s value-driven, corporate services philosophy is an exciting step for us, one that we believe will result in added value for our clients. We are now an integral part of a worldwide organisation with the ability to offer increased international support for all of our clients along with an extensive range of products, services, markets and technology solutions.”
Roger Westwood, Overseas Investments Director for Hogg Robinson Group, added: “Latin America is an important region for HRG, and Argentina - with its growing economy and strong links with Spain (and therefore Europe) - is a key market for many of our clients as they start to consolidate their regional business travel requirements.”
He continued: “Our new partner in Argentina has a similar vision, like-minded client-focused approach to delivering service excellence and is a good cultural fit with Hogg Robinson Group. We very much look forward to working with Furlong-Fox in the future as we continue to enhance the services we are able to provide to our clients around the world.”
HRG currently has nine market leading partners in Latin America. In addition to Argentina, these partner operations are located in Brazil (represented at the HRG Argentina launch by Joint Managing Director Rodrigo Danielides), Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela. Together with Hogg Robinson’s wholly owned operations in North America (Canada and USA), these Latin American companies form HRG’s ‘Americas’ region.
