Re:locate: keeping you in touch

 Welcome to Re:locate Extra – the e-newsletter that keeps you informed of the latest developments in the world of relocation.

The Winter 2010 issue of Re:locate (out 3 December) is full of topical features and the latest relocation news. Our hot topic is how to manage the complexities of cross-border working. This issue’s Country Profile gives guidance on operating successfully in the Russian Federation, from both a company and an assignee perspective. Our removals feature examines industry developments and trends that impact on relocation moves. Education correspondent Fiona Leney considers how government reforms are affecting education choices for relocating families, and explains the different types of school entrance exam.

Look out for The Pocket Guide to Relocation - supplied free with the winter issue.

And, as the deadline for entries nears, we bring you all the latest on the Re:locate Awards.
