User Testimonials

"While much of the "heavy lifting" in our recent move to  Doha was handled by my company, we used Country Connections to provide the local knowledge and introductions necessary for successful international relocation.  In a town where almost every errand requires two stops, Country Connections' experience with Doha and accessibility helped the entire family settle in quickly."

"Relocation is never easy; learning about local environment, culture and practices can be daunting when you have no one locally to consult. After talking to Jane on the phone we immediately booked a “Look See” package to orientate ourselves and investigate home locations and school.
Country Connections not only found our family home in less than a week, but also a commercial property with reputable landlord enabling the opening of our Branch Office.
Country Connections have been reliable, honest and trustworthy with sound advice and resource to assist in a whole manner of topics which has made our relocation relaxing and fun………… "

"I came to Doha on the 5 th October 2005. Coming to Qatar was a complete culture shock!!!!! After a week I thought "what am I doing here" A preview trip with Country Connections changed my whole outlook of Qatar. The service was absolutely brilliant, and you gave me so much important information that helped me get on my feet in my new adventure in life.
I would most definitely recommend Country Connections to anyone coming to Qatar.
Jane thank you for a great day out."

"Having recently worked with you and your team at Country Connections, I would like to express my thanks for the excellent service given; I can honestly say that you have made the job of relocating my staff an easy and pleasurable one.
Dealing with Country Connections has been a pleasure from the first initial contact to the day to day dealings we have had. Not only have you made this easy for me but also easy for my staff who could not speak more highly of your service.
You are always there to deal with any questions or problems I have and you find me solutions to everything!
I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone needing relocation services and I look forward to continuing our relationship in the future."

"I would like to thank you for the recent ‘School Search' especially as it was at such short notice. Particularly useful were the thorough briefs on schools that you felt were a match with the profile I gave you and the support you gave when visiting the ones we chose.  I also really appreciated how you took care of us on the school visit day – the cold drinks, cheering my daughters up with a visit to the camels and pointing out local landmarks and places that may be of interest to us, that made a big difference, so thanks again."

“I've done it the hard way and I've done it the Country Connections way. From the big to the small they did it all. It is more than just a job for them and that it what puts them in a league of their own. I can only hope that wherever I go next, Country Connections will be there to make my move easier.”

"Faced with the daunting task of relocating our young family to Qatar we sought the advice of Country Connections to help us research what may be our new home. We found the team to be extremely warm and professional and they were able to identify exactly what we needed in terms of getting the right housing and schools which was our main priority. We would definitely recommend Country Connections to anyone looking to take the stress out of relocating."

“I relocated to Doha for a 2 year posting in March 2009, knowing very little about the city.  I was referred to Country Connections by a local colleague and was extremely pleased with the services they provided.  They gave me an excellent introduction to the city and what it has to offer and sorted out short-term accommodation for me in just a few days, whilst they then got down to the heavy lifting of finding me a villa and schools for the arrival of my wife and children arrived a few months later.  I can certainly say they made an otherwise stressful time extremely relaxed on my end and saved me a lot of time and unnecessary aggravation.  Their service was absolutely first class and I would highly recommend them to anyone relocating with a family to this region.”

"Country Connections's team have been  a key  partner in  providing relocation services  to our employees moving to   Qatar . Being a start up in Qatar we have been looking for the best local relocation services; Country Connection's  understanding of the Qatar business realities  and the speed required to support building a new company from scratch  made a world of difference to our assignees & our employees relocating  to Qatar . Only a firm sensible to the realities on the ground could succeed & support such a large volume of relocations.
The level of engagement from  CC's consultants created a positive outcome to our people. 
Thank you to all your team members supporting us in Qatar .
