Jul 20, 2011 Santa Fe Joins Forces with Interdean
Santa Fe Joins Forces with Interdean, Europe’s Leading Relocation Company
27 April 2011,
To our customers and trade partners. We are pleased to announce that Santa Fe has entered into an agreement to acquire Interdean, Europe’s leading moving and relocation services company. Headquartered in London, Interdean offers relocation and move management services from a total of 48 offices with 1,200 employees in 35 countries across Western and Eastern Europe, Russia and Central Asia.
The addition of Interdean to the Santa Fe Group marks an important milestone and will greatly benefit our customers and trade partners. The collective company will offer professional moving, relocation, and records management services through 120 offices in 50 countries. Our 3,150 dedicated professionals are currently servicing approximately 100,000 relocations each year.
Combining Interdean’s extensive network with the existing Santa Fe and Wridgways networks throughout Asia-Pacific and the Middle East provides a single source solution to our customers and partners across three continents.
Santa Fe and Interdean have been close partners for a number of years and already exchange a considerable amount of reciprocal business. The merger is therefore a natural fit and will add value through increased efficiency and additional services with a pure focus on serving our clients.
As a customer-centric organization, the Santa Fe Group, including Interdean and Wridgways, will continue to grow and expand in line with the needs of our clients. Further expansion will take place in the Middle East and parts of Asia-Pacific where the group is currently not present. The Santa Fe Group will not be making any acquisitions in North America.
From a Santa Fe Group perspective we are pleased that Interdean’s senior management team is enthusiastic about the merger and remains committed to the company. We have great respect for the entire Interdean organization and what they have accomplished in building Europe’s leading moving and relocation services organization. Their experience and skills are key reasons behind this merger and will benefit our clients and the entire Santa Fe Group.
