Whether company initiated or a private move, Woburn International have organised over 14,000 moves in the past 30 years, assisting individuals and families to move to our beautiful country – and we are here to guide each client every step of the way.
We are well known for our excellent customer service and can-do attitude ensuring that our clients feel safe, supported, understood and reassured in all areas of their relocation.
Making sure everyone feels at home while exploring a new city or town and settling into the local community is important and a great way to start a new adventure. That’s why we share our expert local knowledge and provide comprehensive information on all the essential aspects.
You can depend on us for help with:
- Local information and resources: We provide every client with valuable information about the local community, including details about amenities, healthcare services, public transportation, and recreational activities.
- Schooling options: For families with school-age children, we provide guidance on the New Zealand education system, sharing its similarities and differences compared with a clients country of origin. Based on the schooling preferences we provide information about school options, enrolment procedures, and any specific considerations given a child’s schooling history and needs.
- Healthcare services: We can help clients navigate the New Zealand healthcare system, explaining how to register with a general practitioner (GP), access emergency services, and understand the healthcare options available.
- Banking & Financial services: We cover practical matters such as opening a bank account, understanding the local currency, and accessing financial services. This ensures that clients can manage their finances effectively in their new country.
- Cultural orientation: We can introduce clients to the Kiwi culture, sharing guidance and information about social norms, customs, and etiquette in New Zealand.
- Immigration / legal compliance: Woburn International can do it all – we have over 30 years experience in immigration covering all Visa types. If clients need our assistance with Visas, the conditions on Visas, our Government Licensed Immigration team can help there too.
Here’s what one of our customers has to say:
Having made the decision to emigrate to New Zealand, we came to June at the suggestion of some very dear Kiwi friends. Our preliminary meeting with June left my wife and I with the comfort that we had met a dedicated professional, highly knowledgeable, well-connected woman who is proud of her company’s placement record. In short, the right “on-site” team member with whom we could effectively navigate the demanding requirements of New Zealand Immigration from our home in Houston, Texas.
Correspondence and contact were always punctual, always pleasant. Her effective guidance was much appreciated as the “rules” of immigration are sometimes arcane and often changing. Furthermore, a considerable amount of highly confidential information must be assembled, organised and “presented properly.” I emphasize these last two words because cultural nuances can make or break, expedite or delay the time-sensitive immigration paperwork. Needless to say, “trust” is absolutely essential here.
Not to engage professional services to assist with such an important life event is such a “penny-wise and pound-foolish” mistake. The real challenge is finding a hard-working consultant with integrity and in that regard, we can wholeheartedly endorse June and her company, Woburn International.
