Since 1985, PM Benelux has a close cooperation with the Belgian Relocation Center for the follow up of our expats. The years of cooperation are proof that we are extremely satisfied with the services provided by BRC.

Through years of experience, BRC offers a full range of services. From the moment that BRC is aware of the arrival of a new expat until he enters his new home BRC provides full support. They offer a full assistance package including the application of the work permit, visa, arrival assistance, house search, lease negotiations, letters of guarantee, opening of bank account, finding the right schools for children, legalities, etc. Next to this service BRC goes a step further by adding a personal touch upon arrival, such as ensuring the presence of a special welcome pack.

Flexibility, quality, punctuality and high customer service are just a few keywords that stand for the Belgian Relocation Center.

Dearest Viv, after living in Antwerp, Rotterdam, London, Puerto Rice and now Roma believe me: you are absolutely the best relocation consultant I have ever worked with in my life! Your understanding of cultural differences is amazing, your professionalism and patience awesome and your spontaneous and energetic personality is heartwarming and made me feel at home immediately.

De prima samenwerking met de firma BRC, geleid door mevrouw Viv Hermans, loopt reeds een tiental jaren.

De begeleiding van onze buitenlandse werknemers laten wij in de professionele handen van BRC. Van de aanvragen van de work permits tot de zoektocht naar een geschikte woonplaats, de onderhandelingen en de legalities worden uitbesteed aan de expertise van BRC.

Flexibiliteit en kwaliteit staan hoog bovenaan onze verlanglijst maar worden steeds zeer goed ingevuld. Mevrouw Viv Hermans is altijd bereikbaar en bereid om samen met ons naar een oplossing te zoeken aangaande allerlei soorten vragen en problemen.

Het kleinschalige karakter van de firma BRC maakt dat zij onze mensen altijd een zeer persoonlijke begeleiding kunnen geven in het proces van hun relocation. Onze Expats hebben op die manier ook altijd een single point of contact, wat een must is in deze delicate materie. Ook het familiale aspect in een relocatie is van zeer groot belang, gezien het om gezinnen gaat in dergelijke dossiers.

De persoonlijke ervaringen op dit gebied van de zaakvoerster, maken dat zij de problematiek die dit voor een gezin met zich mee zou kunnen brengen perfect kunnen inschatten en hierop reeds kunnen anticiperen en de nodige oplossingen voorstellen alvorens de problemen werkelijk optreden.

BRC is het enige relocation bedrijf waar wij mee werken. Al onze dossiers worden naar grote tevredenheid zeer punctueel opgevolgd en afgewerkt.

Just a short note to tell you… you are like a breath of fresh air.

I have moved so often... searching, finding and coping all on my own. I have never felt so well taken care of, never felt so comfortable in a new environment so fast. You welcomed my children and calmed my nerves. I am so grateful for the way you made me feel at home and I bless you for the talent to offer such a gift to the people you help to settle in. It is absolutely wonderful.

“Quality Personalized Assistance” was invented by Viv Hermans from the Belgian Relocation Center. Once you had this type of assistance, nothing compares. She can relocate me and my family anywhere in the world. What a professional, what a service!

I am writing to express our great appreciation to the company for offering the services of Mrs. Viv Hermans of the Belgian Relocation Center during our recent move from England to Belgium. We are convinced that our move would not have been as successful without her continued care and assistance. She is able at all times to maintain the perfect balance between professional objectivity and personal concern and advise. On many occasions she contacted us on her own initiative to follow-up on how we were adjusting and to offer help if necessary.

As my husband is English and I am American, her extensive knowledge of both the English and the American culture has meant that she knew all the aspects of the move we would be most concerned about and therefore was able to focus on areas that were most important to us. She was also able to communicate with us in ways that we both felt comfortable with.

Above all it has been her unique personality, full of enthusiasm, energy and sensitivity that made our move such a positive experience.

I am writing you this to formally thank you for the incredible assistance and support you provided during our moves to and from Belgium. Now that we have the experience from also a move to England and in addition to the moves to/from Hungary and Belgium, your professional and friendly service stands out even more. The assistance we received from you made the usually painful relocations for me and my family so much smoother.

A very warm thank you from me, Britta and the boys.

I don’t know how much you are paying Viv, but she is worth every cent! She really does a fantastic job – I only wish they had similar services here in Russia!

Viv Hermans from the Belgian Relocation Center has handled the relocation of my family to Brasschaat, Belgium. From our first house-hunting trip in July until present, Viv has handled every detail of our move causing us as little inconvenience as possible. To me this is a very important factor, as it reduces the amount of time I have to spend settling into the new environment and allows me to concentrate on company business.

I am particularly happy with the personalized service Viv provides. She is literally a phone call away to answer any question or resolve any problem at rise. She is extremely knowledgeable of Belgian and international requirements and procedures, but more importantly also of our company policies. She is truly a professional who keeps the needs of the expatriate balanced with the interest of the company;

One of the nicest advantages of working with Viv is that she makes your family “feel home”. She is genuinely concerned with making your family comfortable and happy living in Belgium.

It is without hesitation that I would highly recommend the services of Viv Hermans of the Belgian Relocation Center to any company seeking assistance with their employee relocations.

It was a very nice experience to stay in Belgium the last three months. We will never forget you and the very first day we arrived in Belgium and you were so very helpful, kind and patient to us. We are both very grateful that we received your needful help.

For many years, the Belgian Relocation Center under the leadership of Viv Hermans has performed in a quality, customer focused, timely manner. The movement of foreign service employees around and into Europe takes not only expert knowledge, but also a willingness to do something «extra» to meet the needs of our employees.

The Belgian Relocation Center has met and continues to fulfill our company’s needs.

I would like to advise that the assistance provided by Viv Hermans of the Belgian Relocation Center was absolutely excellent. Her support with the move into Belgium helped enormously in becoming integrated in the local community in a fast way. In addition with only 5 weeks notice to move back to the UK she ensured an effortless transfer.

Mrs. Hermans has been working with Rio Tinto Diamonds for several years. She has handled the relocation of the top executives of our company from Australia to Antwerp. The work she did also involved a very close supervision of builders and decorators for the purchased properties.

Mrs. Hermans has provided a most professional and very committed service. She has my highest recommendation.

Many thanks for all your assistance with our move from Canada to Belgium. The way you sorted everything out so fast and smoothly really amazed us and we felt protected and very much welcome. We would be still struggling had we tried to do this on our own!

We cannot thank you enough for all that you have done for us. Your advice, assistance and knowledge has been greatly appreciated. You have been there whenever needed, with a smile and an eagerness to help that was so wonderful. You have made our transition to Belgium a very positive experience. Life would have been different without your help. We hope to return this to you one day.
