H&R Group (Relo Japan) Acquires Orientations Inc. Group
Singapore (PRWEB) July 08, 2016 -- On July 8th 2016, the H&R Group acquired Orientations Inc. Group. Founded in 1981 by Beverly Mayhew and headquartered in Pittsburgh, USA. The Orientations Inc. Group is a destination services provider to corporate clients in the Asia Pacific Region, where it has operations in 16 countries including: Australia, Brunei, Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan and Vietnam.
Orientations main services in these countries are:
- Home Finding
- Area / Neighborhood Orientations
- Education Assistance
- Settling-In
- Tenancy Management
- Expense Management
- Visa and Immigration
Beverly Mayhew was looking for the best solution for succession of her legacy, and the H&R Group’s keen interest in extending their relocation expertise into more Asian markets made the acquisition a natural fit for both parties. The deal allows the Orientations Inc. Group. to continue with confidence, stability and renewed vigor as they push ahead with this exciting venture. Orientations will continue operations without interruption in all countries after the official closing of the share transfer to the H&R Group on July 8th.
Steve Burson, President of the H&R Group and Relo Japan, will assume the CEO role of the Orientations Inc. Group through a wholly held subsidiary of the H&R Group established in Singapore; “Relo Network Asia Holdings Pte., Ltd”. Beverly Mayhew will retain her position as President through the transition, for at least the next 2 years, and Adeline Chur will continue in her role leading Asian operations as the Chief Operating Officer.
The H&R Group K.K. is headquartered in Nagoya, Japan and is owned by majority shareholder Appreciate K.K. (Hiroyuki Kurihara) and minority shareholder Steve Burson. First established in 1993 as H&R Consultants, the H&R Group is most well-known for providing outstanding relocation services in Japan through its offices in Tokyo, Nagoya and Kobe (near Osaka) under the brand name “Relo Japan”. The H&R Group is also part owner of Myanmar Relo Co., Ltd, a Myanmar destination services provider set up by Steve Burson and Christina Zar in July 2014 under the brand “Myanmar Relo Solutions”.
