Our Story
It all started when Sophie met Saanvi, a nurse from Sri Lanka who cared for her father, Nic, during a stay as an inpatient in a busy London hospital. Saanvi was kind, warm and professional and did everything she could to make Nic's stay comfortable. She even added a few Sri Lankan spices to his meals to make them more to his liking!
​
Sanvi moved to London six months ago as part of a nurse relocation programme. Although she really enjoyed her new role, she felt isolated outside of work and struggled to adapt to the cultural differences of living in the UK.
Drawing on her passion for quality improvement, Sophie conducted interviews with 20 other international nurses and found similar outcomes. Of the 20 nurses interviewed, 60% said they found cultural integration the hardest challenge.
​
Sophie quickly identified a gap in the market for an international recruitment company that focuses on the long-term well-being of employees as much as the initial recruitment and relocation process. With this in mind, she made the brave decision to leave her much-loved job and the rest is history!
Sophie, Saanvi & Nic!

Sanvi was warm, kind and professional and did everything she could to make Nic's stay as comfortable as possible. She even added spices to his food to make it more to his liking!
**We are pleased to say that Nic has since made a full recovery and is back enjoying life to the full :-)
