Supporting excellence in relocation

Winners announced!

The winners of the Re:locate Awards 2007/8 were presented with their awards at a gala black tie event held in the elegant surroundings of the Institute of Directors (IoD), in London’s Pall Mall, on 23 April.

This glittering occasion fulfilled its promise of being the social and networking event of the year for everyone involved in relocation, from HR people to suppliers. Beneath the IoD’s sparkling chandeliers, nearly 200 guests from across the relocation spectrum celebrated success, good practice and innovation in this increasingly high-profile field.

The evening began with a champagne reception, with entertainment provided by a jazz trio. Two caricaturists mingled with the guests, producing amusing and unusual mementos of the occasion. After a gourmet dinner, guest speaker Simon Calder, travel editor of The Independent and frequent contributor to TV and radio programmes, regaled us with lively anecdotes about his travels and insights into some of the top relocation destinations. The winners were then presented with striking crystal trophies.

Building on the success of these inaugural awards, next year’s will be even bigger and better! The Summer issue of Re:locate will feature a full-colour supplement with details of this year’s winning entries and comments from our judges. We hope they will inspire you to enter the 2008/9 awards  – and be part of something truly special.
