"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.”

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.
