Flight Centre boosts UK meetings and events reach with Fresh Approach acquisition

Flight Centre Travel Group Limited ( (AU:FLT) ) has issued an update.

Flight Centre Travel Group has acquired UK-based brand-experience and meetings and events agency Fresh Approach, which will be integrated into its FCM Meetings & Events operation while retaining its creative identity and leadership team. Fresh is forecast to generate about £18m in turnover and £1.2m in EBITDA in FY26, immediately enhancing Flight Centre’s capabilities in creative, production and experiential services and allowing the group to offer a seamless end-to-end M&E solution in the UK.

The deal reduces Flight Centre’s reliance on third-party suppliers, improves margin capture in a UK M&E market expected to grow around 7% annually and deepens client relationships by expanding value-added services beyond traditional travel management. It also opens significant cross-selling opportunities, enabling Flight Centre to market Fresh’s services to its 2,200 UK corporate customers while offering its global travel management to Fresh’s blue-chip client base, supporting the company’s strategy to grow non-traditional revenue streams that already contribute nearly 10% of corporate sector revenue.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:FLT) stock is a Buy with a A$16.75 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Flight Centre Travel Group Limited stock, see the AU:FLT Stock Forecast page.
