BTR International

There is a widespread expansion of the global workforce across international borders as the world becomes more interconnected. Enterprises are trying to adjust to the new way of business post-pandemic, especially involving workforce mobility. Consequentially, most global mobility heads struggle to cope with the surging assignment demands, increased administration, and service delivery, along with the challenges around the supply chain and relocation of their assignments. In essence, organizations and their mobility teams have had to rethink their policies to include a robust global mobility strategy.

Assisting clients in crafting the right strategy to realize their goals and meet the requirements of their current global mobility teams and employees is BTR International. The company is an awardwinning international relocation and move management firm supporting organizations and their assignees relocate across the globe while meeting specific expectations and adhering to budgets.

“With over 35 years of experience in workforce mobility, we pride ourselves in assisting corporate clients and assignees with care, efficiency, and professionalism. Our passion and enthusiasm for delivering global relocation and move management services have helped us consistently maintain a high level of customer service,” states Lee Brewin, CEO, BTR International.

BTR International offers clients better options for temporary accommodation and shipping belongings and provides accurate suggestions regarding assignment delays. It works hand-inhand with corporate HR and relocation professionals within organizations and helps them navigate the complex and diverse demands of managing assignee programs with mobility solutions tailored to their requirements. BTR International offers advice and guidance to update their existing mobility and relocation policies and processes.

A heritage household goods company, BTR International has gradually expanded its offerings to support clients from pre-assignment consultancy to repatriation. Its unique methodology is based on a total experience ethos, focusing every action, decision, and service on improving employee and client experience.

BTR International removes the administrative burden of relocation, freeing clients to focus on critical elements of their businesses.

Staying in tune with their global mobility policy, the company ensures its services are timely and consistently delivered while keeping in mind the fluctuating costs, timescales, and bespoke needs of the assignee and their accompanying family members.

Currently, BTR International is working with clients to develop a co-source solution where they can access its resources to deal with existing and future assignment demands. This offering assists clients struggling with a lack of manpower to deal with rising assignment numbers. It also allows seamless integration into existing teams, ensures cost savings as they only pay for the time and expertise they require, and offers a single point of collaboration for clients.

With such capabilities, BTR International has scripted many successes. In a recent instance, the company was tasked with a lastminute relocation based on urgent business needs. Even though the visa and immigration were not a concern, the speed of the airfreight was an issue as the family was traveling with two small children.

The timescales for the door-to-door airfreight shipment could not be guaranteed due to industry strikes and other general delays. In such a scenario, BTR International advised the family to travel with excess baggage instead of opting for an airfreight shipment. This resulted in increased cost savings, allowing the assignee to secure a serviced apartment while their rented home was deep cleaned and redecorated. The company’s recommendation also helped meet the client’s need and allowed it to secure a baby-friendly apartment near the rented apartment, all within the original budget of the airfreight shipment.

“Our passion and enthusiasm are centered on helping our clients’ employees and families to quickly adapt and settle into their new assignment. Our service commitment demonstrates our team’s ability and dedication to delivering international workforce mobility services,” says Brewin.

Staying true to this promise, BTR International translates its core values of commitment, ownership, passion, integrity, and collaboration into what it offers. It makes every effort to understand clients’ specific demands, takes a holistic approach to assist every assignee it works with, and accordingly tailors its support.
