Crown Relocations NZ

Families are meant to be together especially when tough times call.

Moving to New Zealand with Crown is Easy!

Life doesn't stop just because you're moving, that's why we're here to make your relocation as simple and straightforward as we can.

IF IT MATTERS TO YOU, IT MATTERS TO US!

We know that your relocation is more than just the physical move, that's why at Crown, our broad range of services reflect this.

At Crown, we do everything we can to make your relocation simpler and stress-free.

HOW TO PLAN FOR YOUR INTERNATIONAL MOVE IN UNCERTAIN TIMES

It’s never too early to plan your international move, the more time you have to plan, the better.

DO YOUR RESEARCH

From differences in culture or climate to how you will spend your leisure time. Decide what needs to be done prior to your move, such as visa applications, and what needs to be done after you arrive, like finding a local doctor and grocery store.

MOVING SOLO OR WITH FAMILY

If you’re on your own, chances are you’ll want to make friends quickly. If you’re moving with a partner, they may be interested in job opportunities. Young families will have different requirements from those with teenagers.

SECURING YOUR FINANCES

Financial matters raise some of the biggest concerns for people moving abroad. From opening and closing bank accounts, through to managing pensions to disparities in tax, these questions should be addressed as early as possible.

DEVELOP A COMPLETE INVENTORY

Take the time to understand the logistical and transport costs – from packing to airfares, and sea or air freight costs. You decide what’s going with you and what isn't. If you’re planning on coming back, you will need to make storage plans for the items you are not taking with you.

Relocating during 2022: what you need to know...

'GIVING BACK' is in our DNA!

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is an integral part of our workplace culture at Crown - so we considered it a privilege to work with The Salvation Army again and help put together Christmas support packages for New Zealand families who are doing tough in the holiday season.

And our expert packing skills definitely came in handy on the day!

Recently, we received a special request from a young customer about a treasured item that Crown gifted him when he moved across town with his family. Read Dexter’s story below:

Hi Crown, My name is Dexter, I am a two-year-old chocolate lab. Two years ago, you moved my family and you gave me a wonderful toy lion which I call Leo. I took it everywhere with me in my mouth and I loved to show him to everyone but alas, it’s getting a bit ‘ruff’ now.

You see, I don’t like sharing my toys and when my friend came over for a playdate the other day, we had a fight over Leo. He has been my friend since I was 10 weeks old, and I took him everywhere with me in the car and on walks to the park. Leo slept in my crate with me every night. I feel bad that I hurt him that day and I’m very upset that he is now ‘destroyed’! So, I am getting my owner to email you about it and ask if I may have another one, please?

Thank you, Love, Dexter

(Days later…)

Hi Crown, Thank you so much for the new toys! Mum said I own just about every toy in the pet shops, but I still wanted more. I am just so cute that I think I deserve them though.

I am a very happy boy now that I can take Leo & the new rugby ball everywhere with me! I’m so happy that I get to sleep with my Leo every night again. THANK YOU so much for sending me them, you are all my new forever friends.

Lots of love, Dexter

WORK, LIVE & PLAY IN CHRISTCHURCH

Christchurch, Ōtautahi is the largest city in the South Island. But, it has much more enchanting claims to fame than its size.

Officially New Zealand’s first-ever city, Christchurch has been named one of the friendliest cities on the planet, is one of the world’s Street Art Capitals, and is home to the largest inner-city park in the Southern Hemisphere! That’s quite the list of achievements!

Besides all these impressive things, Christchurch is a fantastic place to call home. The economy is prospering, the cost of living is far lower than in Wellington and Auckland, and the culture and sense of community make it hard to beat.

Keen to take a closer look at what it’s like to live, work, and play in Christchurch? Let’s zoom in on the details:

HAWKE’S BAY – LIVE, WORK & PLAY!

Known as the North Island’s fruit bowl, the Hawke’s Bay region is a beautiful spot that often flies under the radar.

This region on the east coast of New Zealand’s North Island is growing steadily. People are choosing to relocate there to take advantage of the mild Mediterranean climate, the relaxed lifestyle, and the increasing job opportunities that are popping up.

From mountain ranges and beaches to plains and stunning hill country – let’s see what makes life in the Hawke’s Bay so good.

NEXT LEVEL

Recently six of our most talented operations staff from around the country joined the ‘NEXT LEVEL’ programme which included workshops, secondment and working group projects.

‘NEXT LEVEL’ is a development programme for staff looking for leadership career growth opportunities within Crown. Our first 2-day workshop in Auckland was facilitated by Tristan Cavanagh – Operations Training Manager and Lesley Beecham – HR Manager. Unfortunately, this was cut short by the announcement of NZ moving into a snap lockdown.

Lesley Beecham commented, “What a truly amazing group of people – we are so fortunate at Crown to have such skilled and experienced staff who want to advance into leadership roles within the company and it’s an absolute pleasure to help Tristan facilitate a programme that will take them to their NEXT Career Level”.

The Impact of Covid-19 on Global Mobility

Sharon Brandt – Client Services Manager is the head of Crown’s World Mobility Division, annually managing the relocation of over 2500 corporate customers on behalf of Crown’s managed accounts.

Last week at Crown is our ‘Health & Safety at Work Week’ where we focus on educating staff to be proactive in recognising and eliminating hazards wherever they are operating.

5 Reasons to call New Zealand Home

Are you planning to move to New Zealand?

New Zealand is one of the top destinations in the world with its clean green natural image, scenery, adventure, culture and friendly people. It’s not surprising that every year, thousands of people make the decision to move ‘down-under’ to the Land of the Long White Cloud, also known as ‘Aotearoa’.

When it comes to quality of life Kiwis have the right balance to work, live and play. Whether it’s the arts, sports, the outdoors or just more quality family time that you value, New Zealand has a lot to offer.
