Grand Connection Acquires Gail Andrus Travel to Expand Reach 

(GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan, November 30, 2019) Full-service meeting management firm Grand Connection LLC is proud to announce the acquisition of Gail Andrus Travel (GAT), a group tour and event transportation company.  

This acquisition will provide clients of both companies a unified meeting management, group tour and event transportation company that is unprecedented in the industry. Grand Connection acquired Gail Andrus Travel’s assets and staff on November 30, 2019, and will continue operating under the same GAT brand name. Also, Gail Andrus Travel has a number of high profile clients, which will enable Grand Connection the ability to continue leading the market. 

GAT is well-known for its group transportation services and transports thousands of people throughout Michigan and the United States each year. These transportation services go hand-in-hand with Grand Connection’s meeting services, since corporate clients need transportation whenever they travel to a new location. 

This merger enables clients of both companies to gain access to a wider range of services while attending conferences, group tours and other work events. 

Gail Andrus-Hendges, founder of Gail Andrus Travel, stated, “I will remain active in the business to support Grand Connection and our clients. We will make sure this is as smooth of a transition as possible for everyone.” 

According to Tracy VanderMeer, founder of Grand Connection, “This merger could not have happened at a better time. We’ve recently undergone an internal restructure to better position our company for growth, and the opportunity to continue Gail Andrus Travel’s 37-year legacy was an opportunity we could not pass up!”
