“Alison Casson was my contact - she was excellent and very efficient at managing the process.”
Feedback - Cadbury
"Oliver, just want to say thanks for your support and especially Alison. She has been brilliant all through the process"
Feedback - John Lewis Partnership
“… frequently intervened to move things on & was significantly involved in the improvement made on the initial offer….excellent contact and progress up-dates by phone or e-mail and, when away I was given another named point of contact.” Returning calls?... “ It ALWAYS happened.” The relocation team’s courtesy and helpfulness? “Um, reckon if I lived closer & met Alison we'd have become friends.......... Jonathan Heslop IS a saint. I cannot think of enough ways to tell you what an amazing person he is, he even went in on New Years Eve to complete on the sale. He made what could have been a terribly stressful experience, quite strangely calm. Nothing was ever too much trouble … 'BRS had' a great sense of 'appropriate' humour and empathy.”
Feedback - Cadbury
“… as a HR representative I had to deal with Alison when I am dealing with employees relocating, but as an individual relocating myself I felt the service that Alison offered and level of support was excellent. She was balanced in her advice that she gave but at the same time I felt I could trust her with any personal issues I was having.”

CIPD Exhibition - Manchester Central
Beswick Relocation Services were proud to exhibit at the CIPD conference in November. By presenting our services to our existing clients and a new audience this has allowed us to announce new products, services and solutions in an informal and open surrounding. On-line area guides, remote database access for clients, employees and suppliers, enhanced Settlement Programmes were just some of the new areas we demonstrated in addition to our current core products. We sincerely thank many of our existing clients who were able to visit and support us over the three days. These visits together with introductions to many new faces made the event a huge success, fun and of great interest. We are committed to promote relocation to a wider audience to ensure the personal services to clients, employees and their families are accessible and easily understood.

Feedback - Cadbury
"I recently completed my relocation after joining Cadbury last year. I wanted to write to you to personally sing the praises of Oliver Beswick and his team, who have provided an absolutely first-class service to me throughout the relocation process. The best by far that I have experienced to date in my career.
Oliver was very proactive, attentive and responsive in managing my relocation. He provided invaluable advice to me (especially in the current economic climate!), and nothing was ever too much trouble for him. He made the whole process very easy for me.
I have been hugely impressed with the service that Oliver and his team have provided, and would like to thank Cadbury for providing this excellent relocation service."

I have always found him very helpful, friendly and informative and I have also been impressed with the other suppliers recommended. Our solicitor was very professional and helpful and the removal companies suggested were also excellent. Overall I have been very impressed with Beswick Relocation Services……- excellent service!”
Feedback - Tarmac Limited
More great comments received from another satisfied employee “I have never been through a relocation before and Beswick Relocation Services were always available to answer all my questions and keeping me in the loop as to what was going on. I didn't have to get in touch with them to find out what was going on as they called to either update on progress or check everything was going ok with the relocation….. Beswicks were always there to help, I liked having a single point of call for my enquiries but when this point of call wasn't available, the other people were equally helpful and also up to speed on the progress of my relocation”
