Crown Relocations has promoted David Hollins to Regional General Manager, UK and Ireland. He was previously Regional General Manager for the Southern Region and will now be responsible for increasing the company’s revenue across a variety of sectors.

David has worked for Crown Relocations since 1995 in a variety of management roles across the globe.  He began working in the Wellington office in New Zealand, before relocating to the Philippines and China and finally returning to the UK.

“I have a great deal of personal experience having relocated with my family several times to a variety of countries and cultures,” he said. “First hand experience of relocating is something which many of our staff have and it’s extremely valuable.  Knowledge and understanding of the process and the adjustments that individuals and families have to make for a successful relocation is key to being able to manage our clients in a meaningful manner.”

David said that he was excited about the opportunity to grow and increase Crown’s presence in the world mobility market. “My main challenge will be to hone our customers’ experience and to develop our staff, so that they have opportunities to grow and develop within the business,” he said. “The UK relocation business continues to thrive as the UK is an attractive location for global, blue chip companies.”

“My advice to anyone thinking about relocation is to take time to learn about the local culture,” he said.  “This will enable you to be effective in your job and home life.  I was fortunate as my relocations were within Crown and the company’s brand values are consistent across the globe, so culturally, the organisation is the same wherever you are based.”

David Hollins, 45, is based in Crown Relocation’s South Ruislip office and lives in Amersham in Buckinghamshire with his wife and two teenage children.
