Halifax Fan: expert travel management powering global manufacturing
A dedicated travel partner to keep international projects in motion
For Halifax Fan, business travel is integral to operations. With global projects spanning Asia, Europe, and North America, their engineers and sales teams are constantly on the move. But managing complex, multi-stop travel in-house was time-consuming and stressful – until they partnered with Corporate Traveller.
Based in Brighouse, West Yorkshire, Halifax Fan is recognised as one of the world’s leading manufacturers of industrial centrifugal and axial fans. With around 50 employees in the UK and a network of international subsidiaries, the company designs, manufactures, and services bespoke ventilation systems for industrial clients worldwide.
The challenge
Before working with Corporate Traveller, Halifax Fan’s travel management relied on internal coordination across departments. Managing international routes, time zones, and visa requirements was cumbersome, especially when disruptions or last-minute changes occurred.
“Managing international travel was often complicated and time-consuming. Coordinating bookings across departments without a single point of contact made it challenging to maintain consistency and cost control.” — Harry Wenden, Technical Sales Manager, Halifax Fan
Without central oversight, time was lost managing logistics, costs were harder to track, and staff were left dealing with unexpected travel issues on their own.
The solution
Halifax Fan partnered with Corporate Traveller in July 2021 to bring clarity, control, and peace of mind to their travel programme. The combination of a dedicated travel consultant and the Melon platform delivered the best of both worlds: hands-on service backed by smart technology.
“Our travel consultant has been outstanding – proactive, responsive, and well-versed in the nuances of international business travel. Whether booking flights, arranging multi-stop itineraries, or securing last-minute accommodation, Corporate Traveller has streamlined the process considerably.” — Harry Wenden
During a recent trip to Shanghai, Corporate Traveller managed every detail from visa documentation to seamless airport transfers, ensuring Halifax Fan’s team could stay focused on what mattered: their clients.
The results
Since partnering with Corporate Traveller, Halifax Fan has seen significant improvements across their travel operations:
- Time spent managing travel has reduced significantly
- Greater visibility and control through the Melon dashboard
- Travellers report less stress and smoother journeys
- Leadership teams have greater confidence in every trip
We now view Corporate Traveller as an integral extension of our operations team.

A partnership built for the future
As Halifax Fan continues to expand globally, Corporate Traveller remains a trusted partner supporting their international growth. From supplier visits in Asia to project work across Europe and North America, the relationship continues to evolve with their needs.
“We would wholeheartedly recommend Corporate Traveller to any business seeking reliability, expertise, and genuine care for their travellers.” — Harry Wenden
