May 07 | 2025

Darren French has opened a new branch of Premier Relocation in the north-west of England.

Darren French and Andy WellsThe company specialises in moving premiership footballers and other elite sports people. This follows from the recent announcement of the opening of the company’s office in Marseilles, France.

Darren has been in the industry for over 40 years and, until recently, ran his own organisation, Elite Relocation Solutions, providing surveying services.  As Premier had become a regular customer for Elite, the coming together of the companies made sense. The new company is called, Premier Relocation North.  Darren is the majority shareholder with Andrew Wells as his business partner.

“Andrew has always had a long-term vision to have an office in the Northwest to be able to serve what I believe is the ‘Mecca of football’ with an untold wealth of fantastic clubs,” said Darren. “Andrew has been an inspiration to me over the last few years with Premier London’s achievements being topped off by becoming the preferred supplier to the PFA (Professional Football Association).”

He said that he was excited to now officially be called ‘Premier Relocation North’ and continue to work with the London office along with Jennifer Sloan in France, and James Broggi in Spanish offices in Barcelona and Madrid.

Darren said that he is looking forward to reconnecting with many of his LinkedIn connections when he attends IAM in New York in October.
