If you’ve been thinking about moving offshore but wonder what it’s really like, some quotes from lawyers and accountants who’ve already relocated to the Islands might help you make up your mind. Here we share a few…

From Anastasiya in Bermuda:

“I’m at a loss for words except to say thank you for helping me change my life.

I live in paradise, I ride an awesome scooter, I love my new job and the wonderful people I work with.

I play sports, go to the gym, eat healthily and I’ve never been happier. I’ve met amazing people and have a magical group of friends who have become my family after only two months.

The work was totally new to me and I was nervous but I’ve had so much guidance and support from everyone here. It’s interesting and exciting, I could never have imagined anything better.

It’s just like you described. I am absolutely in love with Bermuda 🙂

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!”

From Elizabeth in the Cayman Islands

“Cayman is brilliant, great people, excellent environment, and I’m getting all the support I need from my new employer. They are a great team here.

My journey went ahead as planned, with no hitches whatsoever. I was welcomed at the airport and guided safely to my hotel. Work started on Tuesday and I have also been doing some personal orientation – opening up a bank account and making plans for accommodation.

Let me take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to you and your team for bringing me to these fantastic Islands!”

From Melanie in Bermuda

“The move has been excellent! Bermuda is so beautiful and I’m settling in nicely. The company seems to be a great fit and I’ve made many friends already. I met one of your other candidates and we discussed how helpful you were in finding us employment on the Island. Actually, we just finished up training today so the real work begins soon. I appreciate everything you did for me.”

From Emma in the Cayman Islands

“I’m so glad I made it here. I’ve got a new house, which is nestled amongst palm trees and flowers, with a gorgeous swimming pool and a jacuzzi. I’ve met some really nice people and there’s already a group of about eight of us. The group keeps expanding as we meet more people – it’s so friendly. Since most people have left home to move over here, pretty much everyone is up for getting the most out of every single day.”

From Sarah in the British Virgin Islands

“I hope you’re doing well and enjoying life. I certainly have been for the last year and a half. I love the BVI. It’s everything I hoped it would be and more. I’ve got a beautiful apartment near the beach with a pool and am looking to buy a boat at the moment too. Loving the lifestyle here.”

From Kevin in Bermuda

“Thought I’d drop you a quick email to say things are going well: Very happy with everything at the new company. Everything you said about this whole experience being completely life-changing is true. I’m very grateful for all your help in making this happen for me.”

From Chris in the Cayman Islands

“So far it’s been a tremendous experience: both work/career and lifestyle!”

From Mandy in Bermuda

“I wanted to send you a note to let you know that I absolutely LOVE Bermuda! Customs gave me a hard time upon my arrival at the airport but everything has gone uphill since then. The staff here have been fantastic. I couldn’t think of a single bad thing to say about the job or the people. Everyone is always more than willing to help either with personal or work related questions.”

From Mark in the Cayman Islands

“I never knew an opportunity like this would be possible.”

From Grant in the British Virgin Islands

“You were the only recruitment agency I registered with who actually delivered what you promised. All the other recruitment agencies seem to treat candidates just like numbers. Your personalised service was exceptional.”

From James in Bermuda

“It’s been a five star move for my career. I’ve learnt so much already.”
