How's it going, Hayley?

Hayley's first 48 hours in London have included a trip to the London Eye with several of Aires' London based employees, and of course, the Aires Care Bear! In the next few days she will be attending a client visit, touring the American International School in London, and meeting with a few of our valued partners. Check out some of her pictures below of her trip thus far!

Update! 

Hayley, along with others from Aires’ UK team, visited TASIS, The American School of England, which was very insightful. The tour of the campus grounds was led by the actual students, who relocated from the U.S. and other countries. Hayley noted that it was great to hear from them regarding what they love most about TASIS, their success stories, how they helped their fellow students to integrate, and much more. She also had a great overview of the schooling system (with a focus on comparing American and British) and learned more about the support network that the school provides to the relocating families, which was led by Simon Fitch, Director of Student Recruitment and Admissions.  Stay tuned for updates, and learn more about TASIS here: https://www.tasisengland.org/

Hayley had the chance to visit our partners at DT Moving, a Gosselin Company. Hayley has worked with this valued partner in the past and was able to meet several of their staff members in person for the first time, as well as experience the household goods process. What a great opportunity!

Goodbye, London!

Hayley's trip has come to an end. She wrapped up her trip with sightseeing at several London landmarks with afternoon tea at the Kensington Hotel. Hayley mentioned she was "blown away by the positivity and connectedness of the team in our London office. It was a real joy to be a part of the team, learn from them, and hopefully teach them a few things as well. Unfortunately, drinking tea has yet to grow on me, but the experience of afternoon tea was one of my favorite experiences! I definitely hope to go back in the future."
