CAS Now Covers 20 Countries In Europe
Complete Accommodation Solutions (CAS), the bespoke corporate housing provider, has expanded to now cover 20 countries in Europe. New destinations added to the network include Turkey, Czech Republic and Slovakia. The response to the launches in the UK and USA in September was impressive and interest in CAS continues to grow. As the number of international short term assignments increases, the demand for good value serviced accommodation as an alternative to traditional hotels is increasing too. CAS provides solutions where serviced properties are in short supply, where available properties do not meet assignees demands or where organisations are seeking a more streamlined and cost effective alternative to their temporary accommodation needs.
“Location and price are the major factors”, says CAS Co-ordinator Susan Wood, “and the CAS service will meet these by using residential accommodation and provide it with service and management. There is an increasing demand for staff mobility worldwide and the need for this unique service is there. CAS will provide a central point of contact for bookers from both Human Resources and Business Travel departments as well as Project Managers.
We will provide Management Information about all assignees in one consolidated report. We are working with our chosen Supplier Partners – all local experts who have a long standing experience of the destinations – who speak the language, know their areas intimately and are typically already in the relocation business. We have developed a Service Level Programme with all of them to ensure consistency of service for the client across all Europe.
CAS is a natural development of The Apartment Service´s Roomspace Solutions service, which has been operated to date only in the UK |
