GTI's Founder and Managing Director, Sarah Anderson, highlighted industry referrals as key drivers of recent client wins: "GTI was recommended to our new clients Hurtigruten, MTA and Oceania Cruises by industry partners, and we are delighted to have the opportunity to work with these amazing companies and support their growth.
