Re:locate: keeping you in touch

The Spring 2011 issue of Re:locate will be arriving on desks any day now.

Plus we’ll bring you the latest on this year’s Re:locate Awards, including the shortlists for five of the categories.

Catch up with the Re:locate team at the EuRA International Relocation Congress (Palma, 13–15 April).
