Premier Relocation, the UK company known for specialising in the football relocation industry, has opened a new office in France, to expand its services throughout the country.
This comes three years after the company opened offices in Barcelona and Madrid, with James Broggi as the co-owner, and just six months after it opened a new office in Manchester, developing Premier Relocation services in the north of England with Darren French.
The French office will be run by co-owner Jennifer Sloan and will serve the whole of France. Jennifer is an American who has been living in France for most of her working life. With a background of more than 30 years in shipping and over 19 years working with her previous removals company, European Relocation Services, Jennifer said she is very grateful for the experience she has been able to gain along the way and the relationships she has built in the industry. “I feel as if everything that I have done in the past was leading to this moment,” she said.
Premier is a ‘full service’ removals and relocation company run by Andy Wells. He started the company in 2011. The company provides a wide range of moving and relocation services, including agent and corporate work, and has been able to carve out a unique niche for serving professional footballers and athletes worldwide.
The Mover caught up with Jennifer and Andy while there were attending the SoccerEx event in Egypt, as the announcement of their new venture was announced. “Premier is a fantastic brand,” said Jennifer. “Andy and I have the same mindset about what kind of services we want to provide. This is really exciting.”
Jennifer said that the high-quality, bespoke service is not something that is common in France. She also said that being fluent in French is a great help. “Not everyone speaks English and being able to speak French is appreciated by our customers, especially during the natural stress of an international relocation.”
Andy has some big plans for Premier having only recently opened a new, ultra-modern head office close to Gatwick airport ...
