An experienced Client Service Manager on every move makes sure everything goes to plan

Many HR, Mobility, Recruitment and Graduate Leaders are choosing to adopt a cash-based relocation allowance approach for their employees moving overseas. Aiming to reduce administration time and effectively manage costs there is a known risk of allowing employees to buy services from unverified or unqualified sources, to save money.

In 2018 GMS was set up to deliver moving services to private individuals wanting to move internationally. By 2020, 80% of GMS customers were moving for work related reasons and were directly or indirectly funded by their employer.

To meet the needs of these customers GMS introduced a flexible moving program that mitigates the risks of moving and at the same time enabled the linking of relocation services. Allowing you to move with peace of mind and focused on your new job!
