Global: Immigration processing during the holiday season

During the holiday season, many government offices worldwide will close or have reduced staff and hours of operation, likely resulting in processing delays for work permits, residence permits and visas over the coming weeks and into the new year.The following is a non-exhaustive list of immigration office and government closings during the holiday season. Employers and foreign nationals with travel or relocation plans between now and early 2016 should contact their immigration service provider to discuss the impact of holiday closures on their specific circumstances.

Contract win to support leading soft drinks manufacturer

Celsium is delighted to announce a contract win to move a number of employees from Spain to London, for one of the largest soft drinks manufacturers in the world.

Initially, Celsium will support the transfer of the Managing Director, followed by two senior managers in September, and subsequently a number of support staff for the arm of the company manufacturing, marketing and selling products in Spain, Portugal and Andorra.

Shelley Lloyd, Celsium MD, commented, "To be selected as relocation partner for such a prestigious and famous brand is very exciting for us and we are very much looking forward to helping the employees settle into London."

Lloyd added that significant contributing factors to the win were Celsium's CSR policy and its "no nonsense" attitude: "Our client has an empathetic culture which marries perfectly with our approach to CSR; and we strive to keep our information and processes as clear and simple as we can - transparency is in everybody's best interest."
