relocate awards 2010 2011We have been shortlisted for the Re: locate Awards 2010/2011!

Robinsons Relocation has been recognised for excelling in environmental initiatives and practises and has been nominated for the coveted awards in the Green Achievement category.

Sponsored by Connells Relocation Services, the category awards a company or organisation for their outstanding and top-level commitment to the environment. This may be from having green buildings and facilities, empowering staff to become greener with strong mission statements, using renewable energy, reducing and recycling waste, or implementing green travel and transport policies.

The judges, who are distinguished figures from their fields of work, will be announcing the winner and presenting the trophies at an esteemed Gala Dinner this Thursday, in London.

The winner will be judged on whether their environmental practises have had a real impact and if they have helped to inspire other business to go green too. It will be decided on the basis of Innovation and Achievement, Teamwork and Customer Relations, Leadership, Effective Use of Resources, and Environmental Contribution to Business.

Tim Rose, Managing Director at Connells Relocation Service, said: “Sustainability is at the top of the agenda for our corporate clients. We’ve been involved with these awards since the beginning, and are delighted to support this exciting new green initiative.”

The Re:locate Awards are the ultimate accolade to everyone working in relocation.  Fiona Murchie, Re: locate’s Managing Editor, said: “I’d like to thank everyone who entered for making this a bumper year. With such stiff competition, I can honestly say that every shortlisted entrant is a winner.”

The glittering event will feature special guest speaker Floella Benjamin, a distinguished broadcaster and cultural ambassador for the London 2012 Olympic Games.

This year’s judging panel includes: Elaine Crowe, Susie Inwood, Janet Kidner, Sally Lockhart, Eileen Pevreall, Susan M Shortland, Alison Van Dalen and Taryn Whitfield.

Last year we picked up the much coveted ‘Best Relocation Service Provider of the Year’ award.

Robinsons is one of the top five UK based leading specialists in International, European and UK Removals, moving and relocation.

Fingers crossed and wish us luck!

Robinsons pick up Re:locate Awards gong

Monday, May 10th, 2010

The Re:locate Awards winners for 2010 have been announced and it’s great news for Robinsons International Removals who picked up the much-coveted ‘Best Relocation Service Provider or Team of the Year’ award.

In a swanky gala dinner held at the Institute of Directors in London, the relocation industry’s finest were out in force for the third annual Re:locate Awards to recognise individuals, teams, policy and innovation, with a choice of categories for HR and service providers.

The high-calibre shortlist reflected the wide range of organisations and individuals involved in relocation, from HR staff to specialist support providers of various kinds, including relocation management companies, consultants, removals experts, home-search specialists, serviced accommodation providers and a furniture rentals company; all of which contribute knowledge and expertise to the relocation process.

The judging panel, consisting of distinguished figures from business, academia and the CIPD, evaluated all nominees on the basis of five key points:  Innovation and Achievement, Teamwork and Customer Relations, Leadership, Effective Use of Resources, and Environmental Contribution to Business.

With a belief that they have a service offer to be truly proud of, Robinsons were able to put forward a winning proposal to land this prestigious prize in the only UK awards ceremony to celebrate achievement in this niche area of expertise.

The judges hailed Robinsons International Removals for a “first-class” entry statement, well supported by a range of excellent client testimonials, succinct examples of processes, and laudable transparency in passing savings on to clients. They loved its WOW (War on Waste) campaign and carbon footprint calculator, and its forward-looking approach, internally and externally.

Stepping up to receive the award on behalf of Robinsons were Sales Director Rhonda Olsen and Relocations Manager Alistair Murray.

Rhonda said: “To have won such a prestigious award is absolutely fantastic and I dedicate it to the entire company who all contribute to ensure we deliver the very best service to our customers.

The summer issue of Re:locate, to be published in June, will feature full details of all the winners including individual case studies.
