Going-there Wins Top Industry Award
27th Oct 2011
We’re delighted that Weichert has awarded Going-there their very groovy Raving Fan award for partnering with them to open DSP operations in places specific to their clients’ needs. Which means that when WRRI calls about a new city, we know to hoist the back-pack, get a map and go find an international school! Which we’ve managed to do successfully and we’re ecstatic that we’ve made their clients happy.

Bulletin from Tripoli
22nd Sep 2011
Going-there's Destination Consultant in Tripoli is Youssif Abirid, who joined the company in 2008 (both of Going-there's other consultants, who were expatriates, were relocated from the country during the emergency). Youssif remained in Libya with his family throughout the conflict. For many weeks, we were not able to contact him. Thankfully, during the last week of August, contacts were resumed. We asked Youssif to complete a brief Q&A to give us a picture of the current conditions in the Libyan capital city.
