Here at Gallica Relocation we don’t regard our job done once we have checked the inventory! We consider your ‘settling in’ to be crucial. In addition to helping you find doctors and dentists and other life essentials, we will help you to source clubs and groups where you and your family can pursue your hobbies and interests.

I know with children helping them to pick up their hobbies quickly is a factor in helping them to settle but I would recommend you wait until they start school if they have a popular hobby or sport, such as football. I have relocated with children and rushed into signing them up with local clubs but on starting school they have wanted to move to the clubs where the other children at school go.

Most people relocating to Manchester (or to any new area or country) want to meet and get to know local people, no one usually moves to a new country wanting to only mix with other expats but it can be reassuring to be put in touch with someone who has had a similar experience whilst relationships with ‘locals’ are established.

We spend a lot of time in the car with clients and can get to know them quite well over a short period of time. We are well tuned in to which clients will get along with each other and have established a number of unofficial ‘groups’, putting together likeminded people who help and support each other (and if the Facebook pictures are to be believed, have fun!).

We currently have three ‘groups’ running:

A professional women’s group in Manchester Centre and near suburbs Didsbury, Sale, Stretford and Timperley.

A family group in Wilmslow, Cheshire.

A family group in Prestbury and Alderley Edge, Cheshire.

We never consider our job done, we are always available to answer any questions or queries you may have during your time in the North West.
