A Lasting Partnership

When Rob Durant started WD Travel with his partner Greg Wittig in the late 1980’s the goal was to create a professional corporate/leisure agency that stood above the competition, yet still offered a distinct personal touch and superior customer service. One of the keys to creating such an environment is taking the time to find the right employees.

WD has worked with Longitude in sourcing knowledgeable, personable, sales focused, well-travelled staff for close to twenty years. The results have been a testament to the longevity and success of WD Travel, which has grown significantly with locations in Vancouver, Toronto, London and Sydney. Renato Ferrari, the General Manager of WD was placed by Longitude as a Senior Travel Consultant and has grown with the company to his current prominent role. WD continues to work with Longitude when opportunities arise.

The cornerstone to this successful partnership has been the communication and rapport built between Rob Durant, President of WD World Travel and Mark Gruenheid, Owner of Longitude. Longitude strives to understand the needs and nuances of WD’s international travel business. The proof is in the results. As WD Travel has grown, Longitude has consistently been there, supplying quality staff.
