The National Business Success Award Institute has declared Voerman International BV as 2016 winner in the category of International Relocations & Mobility.
According to the Nomination Committee, it has developed into a leading organization with a very strong position. “Voerman International combines its extensive expertise with an innovative approach, which makes it score very high on customer satisfaction. A stunning, highly innovative and socially involved company.”
Voerman has never been a traditional moving company – over the years, a unique business approach developed the organisation into a full-service relocation provider, focussed on international relocations of expatriates and diplomatic missions. “A quick look at the Voerman website makes you realize you’re not dealing with your average moving company, but rather one of outstanding quality," said Robert Zwaan, Head of the daily Nomination Committee. “All aspects that concern international removals are all dealt with by the staff. Insurance packages, for example, are an evident supplement to the scope of their services. When customers ask, Voerman will even find new homes for them.”
The company is remarkable through its technological innovations. A good example is the Internet platform move4u.com – an initiative (and property) of Voerman. “This platform is comparable to Ebay and brings together supply and demand on the international removals market,” said Robert Zwaan. “Even competing international movers are eager to use this website to find clients and search for services that fit their business.”
The jury said Voerman also should be complimented on its corporate social responsibility. The Voerman Foundation conducts various charitable activities, including support for an orphanage and charity for children with Down Syndrome in Russia. With money, goods and manpower, Voerman contributes to a better world, locally and globally.
