The Background
Kotridis Travel manages accommodation and travel logistics for large corporate clients across Europe. One of their key areas of responsibility is supporting major energy sector projects in the UK.
Nick, who leads operations across the UK and Northern Europe, coordinates accommodation and transport for teams working on these projects.
Assignments often last several months and may involve multiple locations running at the same time. This means accommodation needs can change quickly and require careful coordination.
They provide flexibility & good pricing
Efficiency is key in our business, and Comfy Workers helps us achieve this. They provide flexibility, good pricing, and handle issues quickly when they arise.
Nick, Partner – UK & Northern Europe, Kotridis Travel
The Challenge
Accommodation requests typically come through the client’s management team before reaching Nick’s team.
From there, the process involves sourcing suitable options, comparing prices, and coordinating bookings for employees working across multiple sites.
Typical requirements include single-occupancy apartments, though sometimes properties need to house small groups of employees depending on seniority or project structure.
With 20–25 apartments in use at once, managing availability, pricing, and logistics across different locations can become time-consuming.
Efficiency and flexibility are critical.
The Change
Over time, Comfy Workers became one of Kotridis Travel’s main accommodation partners.
While Kotridis works with several providers to manage risk and pricing, Comfy Workers has become their largest collaborator in the UK market.
They’re an extension of our team
Comfy Workers saves us a lot of time on logistics and coordination. It feels like they’re an extension of our team.

The key factors that make the partnership work include:
- Flexibility around notice periods and booking changes

- Reliable support when issues arise
This allows Nick’s team to quickly present accommodation options to their client while keeping projects moving.
The Results
The partnership has helped improve efficiency across accommodation planning.

“Efficiency is key in our business — and Comfy Workers helps us achieve this.”

The Experience
For Nick, the biggest value is the partnership approach.
Having a responsive accommodation partner means the workload doesn’t fall entirely on the internal team.

This support allows Kotridis Travel to focus on delivering the best service for their clients.
