GOSSELIN MOBILITY SERVICES

COMPANY OVERVIEW With over 50 years’ experience relocating expats and their families around the world, we’re absolute experts in making their transition to a home away from home as smooth as possible.

From the initial planning stages of relocation all the way up until it’s time to come home again, we’ll be there every step of the way.

Once upon a time, corporate relocations were very basic. Employees could simply be deposited in a new country without any sort of introduction to the place beforehand, without any assistance adjusting or settling in, and without any support for spouses and children. Nonetheless, corporate assignees were expected to succeed.

“Our number one aim is to provide a flexible, supportive

Such a thing is practically unthinkable today. Being in the business for 50 years, we’ve been there first-hand to witness a revolution in thinking.

Actually, we’ve done more that witness the revolution; we’ve been a part of it. We’ve helped to design and implement corporate relocations programmes that assignees of the past would be exceedingly envious of.
