2019 at a glance

It has been a busy year for us at MovePlan, as we’ve worked with clients across the world to support them with changes in their businesses, from implementing new ways of working to managing office relocations and reducing filing storage. As 2019 comes to an end, we think it’s important to look back and reflect on what we have achieved. Sharing statistics with staff is a great way of highlighting just how far your business has come, and gives everyone the motivation to build on that in 2020.
