Below are a list of organisations we work with and recommend, all of whom are experts in helping migrants from the UK. 

Immigration Consultants

The Emigration Group - The Emigration Group offer a full range of services for migrants, from helping you to find a job to helping you with your visa application. They also provide extensive settlement services in New Zealand through their partner organisation, ResettlemeNZ. Their initial visa advice is free via email and phone, and well worth a look if you are thinking of applying.

Foreign Exchange

HiFX - A specialist foreign exchange company can save you thousands when you change your Pounds to Dollars. We have recommended HiFX for several years, and those clients that have used them have been really impressed with the rates they achieved as well as having a very high level of service and excellent administration. 

Settlement Services

ResettlemeNZ - We have known Mandy Mitten and Rob Pickstock for a number of years and have been impressed by their high level of customer service, professionalism and commitment to helping people settle in New Zealand as quickly as possible. They will help you with all the day to day practical issues when you first arrive in New Zealand from finding rental accommodation to finding the right schools for your children.

Marine Cargo Transit Insurance

Orbit Protect - I have worked closely with Wayne Stewart at Orbit Protect to put together a comprehensive cost effective marine shipping insurance for your household goods while they are in transit to New Zealand. They provide cover for some things such as Mechanical Derangement – when electrical appliances don’t work but are undamaged – which a number of UK Removal companies do not cover. All those clients that have used them have found them to be very approachable, professional and helpful, especially when it comes to making a claim.

Tax Experts

Sterling Tax Services - There is always a lot to sort out when moving to another country. Sterling Tax Services is a Christchurch-based company that can help to take away some of the stress and make things a lot easier by dealing with your tax affairs for you. They are unrivalled experts in both UK and NZ tax matters.
