Shelley Matthews, CTM Sport’s EVP Sales and Partnerships, said the extension of CTM Sport’s partnership with PSN presented an exciting opportunity in two of the world’s largest and highest profile sports markets. “We’re delighted to be continuing our partnership as PSN’s official travel partner for the fourth consecutive year and extending our services to PSN’s network in North America too. We’re excited and honored to provide sports teams and athletes the opportunity to leverage CTM’s extensive global buying power, supplier influence, and intuitive technology to enhance the travel experience for their teams and athletes, as well as the performance of their travel program.

“Having worked closely with PSN in the UK for the past three years, we know the power that PSN’s knowledge and educational resources offer to the sports management sector, and we look forward to continuing to develop our partnership in 2023.”

CTM North America’s Chief Operating Officer, Maureen Brady, said the CTM Sport team was excited to showcase its expertise to PSN’s North American sports partners, recognizing the unique travel needs and nuances of the region’s professional athletes and sports organizations. “CTM has extensive experience managing the travel needs of a large and diverse group of sports organizations in both North America and Europe.
