It's a bit clunky but less so when the flight is within 72 hours of departue and the Emerald cardholder blocked seats are available. What may be possible - if your employer allows it - is to use CWT for personal travel and refund your employer for the cost; alternatively use your own credit card on the CWT account and bill the employer separately for the work related travel - again assuming your employer allows that to happen. As suggested by NWIFlyer, it's less of a function of the travel agency product, more reflecting the deal that BA's commercial people have with either your company or industry sector.
Is that Amex as a corporate travel agent or Amex accessible through retail Cent/Plat/other cards?
