Kent Relocation Services is an Australian operated tier-one removals and relocations company. Founded in 1946, the company provides removal and relocation services to over 180 countries across the world, performing 40,000 removals and relocations per year. Kent’s commitment to service is designed to provide their clients with an ability to leverage unique cost savings and best practice from their focus on vertical service integration solutions.

By differentiating in the provision of custom integrated services, Kent are striving to create partnerships tailored to a relevant improvement agenda with each client. This includes the establishment of an online Room Booking Portal for property vacancy management and temporary accommodation. The portal is designed to allow clients to track vacancies and room bookings for hotels, apartments and private houses across Australia. The portal is designed to eliminate the need for premium cost serviced apartments and to terminate surplus property leases, resulting in savings for major clients.

Additionally, Kent have introduced a national Property Management team that provides expert industry knowledge and services for clients with property portfolios. In practice, this team aims to provide an overlay service, giving customers the capability to leverage their experience to yield cost savings. This involves managing hundreds of staff houses across Australia, maintaining them by providing weekly cleaning, ongoing property maintenance and performing half-yearly inspections.

These initiatives exist as part of a commitment by Kent to go above and beyond to service their clients, which is an ongoing process for the company. Improvement is always welcomed and client centric external survey schemes are conducted to measure customer satisfaction. This data gathering process is a crucial part of Kent’s service focused business strategy, as it allows them to stay up to date with customer needs and the quality of their own service. This feedback process also extends to staff, with the belief that good service starts with happy and engaged employees.

Kent Relocation Services have received a Service Excellence Award in the Australian Business Awards 2016 in recognition of their commitment to high quality service practices.
