Our colleague Judith van Kampen is going to Beijing for the Olympic Games 2008.

The Dutch Softball Team has earned it's place at the Olympic Games in Beijing 2008 by winning from their all-time rival Italy. A score of 3-2 was enough to do the trick.

Settle Service colleague Judith van Kampen is a valued member of the Dutch Softball team and euphoric about the result: "I never thought to see it happen in my sport career, I just can not believe it!"

We are proud to have Judith as a colleague and will follow the team as they go along and prepare for the BIG EVENT.

Good luck!

The Olympic Games will be held from August 8 to August 24, 2008

The company will be continued under the name Settle Service B.V. in Haarlem. Settle Service is the largest immigration and relocation service provider in the Netherlands.

Rosemarie Johnson-Koelewijn about the merger: "Size is an important requirement to offer expat services in a professional way. Settle Service has an excellent reputation and I am very happy with this development. I will start my new company together with a small group of people from RMS."

Irene Bunt: "Over the last year, we have invested a lot of time and money in our employees and our organisation. As a result, our ReloTracker IT system is now fully operational. This merger comes at the right time."

The Netherlands, a cultural Piece of Cake?

Settle Service gladly assists the Radboud University of Nijmegen, Department op Business Communication and the University of Groningen, Department of Psychology with the following research project:

For expatriates who come to the Netherlands, it can be difficult to initially come into contact with the Dutch, while friendship with Dutch people may help settle in. The universities of Nijmegen and Groningen have started a new project to demonstrate that regular contact between recent arrivals and host families is not only a very cost-effective way of helping people on international assignments better settle in their host country, but also a great way to stimulate social exchange between people of different cultures.
