About myself

Linda van Santen is the personification and key figure of Personal Relocation.

20 years experience as executive secretary and personal assistant at multi-nationals at home and abroad, and with organisational abilities in her blood.

Her education was successfully followed at Grammar School, Secretarial College and the Schiller International University in Strasbourg, France. In addition she has extensive knowledge in the areas of Hostess, Project Management and Interior Designer.

"The aims and objectives of Personal Relocation originate from the periods while fulfilling my various functions during which I was continually being confronted with the restricted services offered by Relocation Agencies and by their incomplete service packages. I took it upon myself, in collaboration with the department for Human Resources, to ensure that the moving process for the expatriate or repatriate was carried out as smoothly as possible."

"Through my studies in France, my work (amongst others in the head office of an international hotel chain) in Germany and the subsequent return to the Netherlands, the concept of 'relocation' became applicable to me both personally and in the business sense. It is mainly due to these experiences that I know which procedures should be followed and also how to become acclimatised to the customs and practices of a new country as quickly as possible. During my return to the Netherlands, I realised that many things had changed. Well begun is half done, is a saying that is indisputably true when applied to feeling at home in a new environment. I am happy to do all that is necessary to ensure that your acclimatisation occurs as easily as possible. "

"After many years collaboration with international top managers, I am familiar with the requirements and wishes which are important to them. I can make sure that these are satisfied efficiently and to high standards."
