Global Relocation Solutions, a leading relocation and destination service provider based in Seoul, South Korea, has become Paragon Relocation’s first franchisee in Asia. The new franchise, now called Paragon Relocation - Korea, will continue to provide relocation, housing and move management services, but will now have an added global presence and services that will benefit both companies. Paragon Relocation announced the new partnership at the ERC Workforce Summit in Shanghai, China.

Jay Yoon, Joe Morabito, Bright Yoon and Liam Brennan celebrate the franchise agreement.

“We are pleased to announce Paragon Relocation - Korea has joined the Paragon family. Being strategically located in Seoul, Paragon is uniquely positioned to provide global relocation and destination services throughout Asia,” said Joseph Morabito, president and CEO of Paragon Global Resources. “By becoming a Paragon franchise, Paragon Relocation - Korea will benefit from the global services we offer and Paragon will now have a trusted partner for our current and potential transferees that may relocate to and from South Korea.”

“Becoming a Paragon franchise allows us to access global markets for our existing customer base in Korea and assists us in developing the growing market for relocation services in Korea,” said Jay Yoon, senior manager of Global Relocation Solutions. “Without access to global networks, the potential to expand our business was limited. Now that we have joined Paragon we will be able to provide clients with services wherever their transferee is moving in the world.”

In April, Jay Yoon and Bright Yoon (no relation), general manager, attended an intensive week-long franchise training held at Paragon’s headquarters in Rancho Santa Margarita, California, with additional training being held at their office in Seoul.

Paragon Relocation opened its first franchise less than a year ago in Europe, and this new entry into the Asian market is testament to the franchise model offered by Paragon.
