Alliott Group members co-sponsor Europe’s leading global mobility event in Amsterdam
08 March 2019
20 members from across EMEA, Americas and APAC will represent Alliott Group on 7 March at Forum for Expatriate Management' Amsterdam Global Mobility Conference.
On 7 March 2019, over 20 accounting and law members from 13 member firms out of 10 countries joined forces under the Alliott Group/Global Mobility banner to co-sponsor the annual Forum for Expatriate Management (FEM) Amsterdam Global Mobility Conference.
Taking place at the Hotel Okura in Amsterdam, this one-day conference brought together over 300 global mobility and HR professionals from some 100 international companies with expatriate populations. Attendees came from across Europe and from a variety of industries including Retail, Energy, Shipping, Manufacturing, Logistics, IT, Management Consultancy, Auditing, Pharmaceuticals and more. Companies represented include IKEA, Booking.com, Nike, Heineken, Unilever and Samsung.
Alliott Group’s investment and involvement in this event extended to not only an exhibition stand but also to sponsorship of the pre-event drinks reception. Most importantly, however, two of the alliance’s global mobility specialists, Laura Butcher (Sherrards Solicitors, UK) and Stéphanie Lasschuijt (Borrie Expatriate Services, Netherlands) stepped up to the mark to deliver a 40-minute keynote presentation. Their session highlighted the biggest headaches clients are currently facing, drawing on real case studies to provide practical advice and address the typical questions currently being asked by their clients in today’s uncertain political and economic environment.
Alliott Group COO, Giles Brake, comments: “There was a real buzz at yesterday's event and our team had the opportunity to network face to face with a number of clients and key suppliers to the industry. Although not familiar with Alliott Group, many of those we spoke to were very pleased to discover us and to learn about how we, rather than or or at least in addition to the big firms, can help them to manage the nuts and bolts of their global mobility programmes. While everyone worked hard, we all had the opportunity to socialise and to strengthen our relationships. Once again, we have succeeded in advancing our Global Mobility offering to a new level.”
A big thanks to immigration expert Stephanie Lasschuijt of Borrie who gave a very professional and authentic presentation in the main auditorium.
