Trusted Animal Transport Authority

Starwood Animal Transport Ltd, which has been helping pet owners move their pets since 1984, has joined Expatland’s London E-Team to provide animal relocation services.

Starwood Animal Transport and Expatland

The Expatland Global Network is assembling ‘E-Teams’ in major expat destinations, bringing together vetted professionals who offer essential services to expats. Through one point of contact, would-be expats can access expert advice and local insight on all aspects of moving to, and setting up life in, that specific location.

John Marcarian, founder of the Expatland Global Network, says, “Wherever you are, whatever culture you come from, pets are part of the family. Naturally, when you move country, they come with you. Starwood Animal Transport are experts in pet relocation, with a brilliant track record. They help clients navigate the complex location-specific customs issues and regulations for relocating animals, as well as providing total confidence that their much-loved pets are in safe hands. We’re delighted that Starwood will be bringing their considerable expertise to the London E-Team.”

Nick Foden-Ellis, Director, Starwood Animal Transport Ltd, comments: “The E-Team concept is long overdue and fits very well with our approach. At Starwood, we have already established links with pet experts in specific locations, but Expatland offers a ready-made network, encompassing specialists across a range of sectors. I think the potential is huge.”

‘Expatland’ origins

Expatland began as a best-selling book by John Marcarian, written in 2015. Advice within the book is based of John’s experience of travelling extensively between international offices of his business CST Tax Advisors, enjoying multiple expat experiences, and working with vast numbers of expat clients. With a deep understanding of both the challenges and rewards of expat life, John wrote the book as an ‘expat survival guide’, packed with advice, statistics and a step-by-step plan for smooth expat integration.

E-Teams around the globe

Expanding on ideas in his book, John launched the Expatland Global Network in 2018, with the aim of supporting people all over the world who are embarking on an expat journey, joining a vast, dynamic community.

In addition to offering one-to-one advice, members of each E-Team also lend their specialist knowledge to writing chapters of a city-specific editions of the Expatland book, which are free-to-download and packed with locally-focused advice, tips and case studies.

Expatland is quickly spreading across the world with E-Teams in Sydney, Melbourne, LA, Singapore, Auckland in addition to London, with more cities to follow.
