8th June, 2022 – Global travel management company FCM is pleased to announce the appointment of Andy Hegley to the newly created role of Managing Director for the UK & Ireland. 

Alongside delivering revenue and growth, Hegley will be responsible for amplifying FCM’s strong brand, unique product and compelling service proposition. Hegley’s appointment is effective immediately.
