Star to Break James Bond Business Travel Record

By Evie Parker | 19th October 2015

The latest Bond movie, Spectre, will see Daniel Craig travelling further than any Bond before - on Her Majesty’s Service.

Despite being only his fourth Bond movie, the latest release, Spectre, will smash the previous business travel record of 65,982 miles, clocked up by Roger Moore during his stint as 007.

With Spectre locations including Morocco, Austria and Italy, Daniel Craig will not only have travelled further than any previous Bond - he will also take 007’s overall travel past the 250,000 mile mark.

The stats have been revealed after expenses management company, webexpenses, carried out an in-depth audit of Bond’s globe trotting antics since he first hit our cinema screens in 1962.

Webexpenses used its expertise in using technology to accurately track business trip mileage to provide a detailed breakdown of Bond’s travel for each of the 23 official movies.

The results show that Bond has now clocked up an impressive 224,853 miles as a business traveller who faces the tough task of saving the world from a succession of crazed villains.

Caroline Trotman, Head of Marketing at webexpenses said:

“James Bond has always been the ultimate in business travel - he’s adaptive, reactive, well informed and always makes it look effortless.

“These are all traits that can be applied to the everyday world of business travel and it’s exactly what Webexpenses is designed to help people achieve.”

While Bond’s famous for his gadget enhanced cars, his various forms of transport have included everything from the Orient Express to a mechanical alligator.

The research data shows that Daniel Craig’s Bond has travelled further per movie, 21,541 miles, than any of his predecessors with Sean Connery the least, just 5,601 miles.
