Elliott International, South Africa’s premier move management company, has set up specialised business units to handle its expanding relocations services into and out of Africa.

In 2008 Elliott made a strategic decision to acquire Corporate Relocations South Africa in line with its expansion objectives. Corporate Relocations is South Africa’s largest independent relocation company and was established in 1993. They have accredited Global Mobility Specialists trained through the Worldwide Employee Relocation Council’s relocation professional academy among their 38 staff countrywide.

Since the acquisition, Corporate Relocations has brought significant expertise and resources into Elliott, enabling it to provide customers with an integrated service offering including the latest technology in assignment and household goods tracking systems.  In October 2009 Corporate Relocations was honoured with a Commitment to Excellence Platinum award for outstanding performance by Cartus at its 2009 Global Network Conference in Chicago.

The company was rated as a Level Two Contributor to Black Economic Empowerment by Empowerdex on 29 September 2009.  Corallie Pringle, managing director, says that it is the first South African relocations company to achieve such a rating. “It reflects our careful spending and recording under the four elements we selected as a qualifying small business and adds value to the local operations of our multinational clients and partners,” she says.

Elliott International has decided to merge the business activities of Corporate Relocations and Elliott Relocations into a company to be known as Corporate Relocations South Africa (CRSA). With headquarters in Bryanston, Johannesburg, it will provide relocation and immigration services within the borders of South Africa.

In response to increasing demand for an extension of its African footprint, Elliott Relocations Africa is expanding its suite of services to the rest of Africa from its offices located at the Elliott Africa move centre in Johannesburg.

As Elliott International continues to grow and improve its range of customized solutions, we are pleased to announce that Corporate Relocations has aligned itself with the world’s leading immigration law firm – Fragomen. With offices in 14 countries including South Africa, Fragomen provides the highest level of immigration solutions for short and long term international assignments, permanent transfers as well as local recruitment of foreigners globally.
