Relocation Management

Our Services

Also known as: Transition Management, Relocation Management/Consultancy, Decant Planning and Relocation Planning. Similar to Restack (staged moves in existing buildings) and Churn (regular smaller moves to allow refurbishment or restructure).

Relocation Management prepares every aspect of your business for relocation. Whether you’re moving 20 staff or 2000, Relocation Management dots the i’s and crosses the ts. Maintaining your business / operational continuity and saving relocation cost throughout is MoveCorp’s prime concern.

In trusting your move to an experienced consultancy, the risk to the most visible part of a broader construction/fit-out project is immediately reduced. If your physical move fails, the impact upon the reputation and finances of your organisation can be extensive.

With a tested, flexible methodology and 100% success rate, the MoveCorp team consistently deliver projects on time and on budget. Expert management, tactical communications and meticulous cost control provide invaluable peace of mind. Provide yourself with the freedom to focus upon the strategic operation of the new site and allow MoveCorp to concern itself with the details of the move. Typical Relocation Management considerations include:

• Defining the move strategy
• Program management
• Risk management
• Communications and staff engagement
• Data control
• IT Relocation Coordination
• Filing and Storage Preparation
• Equipment planning – for labs and clinical environments
• Removalist procurement and management
• Physical move supervision

Case Study: Cathay Pacific

MoveCorp was engaged by Cathay Pacific to support their team with formulating the strategy for, undertaking the planning of and ultimately supervising the first stage of their relocation to the new Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA).

The relocation involved over 800 pieces of heavy airport ground handling equipment, 12,000 cubic metres of technical stores and over 3,000 office-based staff moving from 19 existing sites to 4 new ones, 700 of them during the first stage of the move. The majority of the ground handling equipment and 300 of the staff had to be moved within eight hours overnight between the closure of Kai Tak Airport and the opening of HKIA.

Cathay required MoveCorp to produce a strategy to undertake this scale of move, assessing the risk involved to business continuity and recommending preferred methods of transport and timings. MoveCorp did this by close liaison with all Cathay departments involved and with their technical relocation team. The result was an impressive strategy document which was proved to work during the move its main recommendation to use road transport rather than barges proved particularly wise in this event.

All the moves which MoveCorp were involved went smoothly, especially the overnight move which was seamless.

Throughout the whole process MoveCorp were able to contribute their expertise and knowledge of Logistics to Cathay internal teams, and the combination of this external expertise with in-house knowledge of the business and work on the detail involved proved extremely effective.
