Paragon Relocation Holland Holds Open House

Paragon Relocation Holland hosted an open house on May 22nd, 2008, at their offices in Arnhem. The well-attended event offered a great opportunity for existing and potential clients to mix and discuss relocation. Geoff Mills, Managing Director, Paragon Relocation Holland, addressed the group and reflected on globalization and its affect on the world.

Rita Weeda, Arnhem’s City Councilor for Economic Affairs, gave an informative talk highlighting the success and focus of the Arnhem area in attracting new businesses to the region. Arnhem’s central proximity between the ports of Rotterdam and the rest of Europe offers an ideal location for companies.

Also speaking at the event was Dan Leonard, Director of Globalisation for Firestone Industrial Products, a manufacturer of air springs for truck trailers. Leonard offered glowing reports about Paragon and said its presence in Arnhem influenced Firestone selecting The Netherlands for their new plant site.

"The feedback from guests was that they were impressed by both our local operation and Paragon as a whole and several commented that they had not realized Paragon was so big," said Mills. "We had been looking forward to welcoming everyone to our office under our new name since we joined the franchise in September 2007, and the event was as wonderful as we could have hoped for. We had some wonderful speakers, lots of guests and a great time."
