“There was an incredible atmosphere at the awards ceremony and I was delighted when Interdean won the EMMA for Relocation Management Company of the Year. Interdean strives to provide its clients with a holistic approach to their relocation needs; offering information, advice and guidance throughout every exchange with our clients’ Mobility Departments and their assignees.

I believe we have a truly unique approach and I think it’s fantastic that the hard work and excellence in service delivery at Interdean has been recognised. I would like to take this opportunity to express my immense gratitude to all staff at Interdean, without whom this would not have been possible”.
