John Mason International has extended its popular Moving Gang with a new family member – Lenny the Lion.

The ‘gang’ is a collection of cartoon characters designed to help younger movers cope with the experience of relocating abroad. And now Lenny the Lion has prowled onto the scene, to represent his home country - South Africa.

“We created these cute personalities as a bit of fun, but they reflect the fact we pride ourselves on looking after the entire family,” said Noel Briscoe, John Mason International Chief Operating Officer.

“These characters help children understand what is happening and give parents a useful conversation starter too. With the Moving Gang, relocating can fast become a fun and familiar adventure, a chance to share travelling tales and to see their new corner of the world,” said Noel.

Although nervous of his roar to begin with, Kev the Koala (Australia), Monty Moose (Canada), Khloe the Kiwi (New Zealand) and Stanley Bear (USA) have happily accepted Lenny into the fold.
