they can also assist customers with additional relocation requirements, including international currency transfers. Helping customers make informed decisions is key, especially in a world where overseas conflicts can cause sudden and significant delays. Glasgow provides JD Relocation Services with an excellent strategic base from which to serve customers throughout Scotland and across the UK. Through its established network of trusted international relocation partners, the company can also coordinate and manage relocations worldwide, offering customers the same personal attention and professional support wherever their journey takes them. Both born and bred in Aberdeen, John and Jacqui began their careers in different but complementary industries. Jacqui developed her expertise in shipping within the oil industry, while John established his career in removals and relocations. Bringing their experience together, they have built JD Relocation Services around shared values, a personal approach and a genuine familybusiness ethos. Jacqui explained: “Our internal culture is very much that of a closeknit, family-run business. Everyone also has to be willing to roll up their sleeves and help where needed.” A sense of humour also helps, especially where Whiskett, the company’s adorable teddy bear mascot, is involved. As the ambassador of international relocations, Whiskett is our travelling mascot and has become a valued member of the JD Relocation Services team. Complete with his own passport (pawsport), Whiskett has travelled the world alongside John and Jacqui and even found his way into the cockpit of an Airbus A380! His adventures bring a little humour and personality to a company that takes its responsibilities seriously while never losing its sense of fun. The future for JD Relocation Services is bright, especially since it has recently experienced rapid international growth. On the back of this, Jacqui said: “One of our main priorities for the future is to continue putting the right systems and structure in place to ensure that the business can be sustained and run without John and myself having to be involved in every aspect of the day-to-day operation. Although, knowing us, we will never be too far in the background!” As JD Relocation Services continues to strengthen its international presence and develop relationships with trusted relocation partners worldwide, John and Jacqui remain committed to building on the company’s achievements and preparing for the future. Alongside these ambitions, there is another significant milestone on the horizon, as John approaches an extraordinary 50 years in the removals and relocation industry. Jacqui hints that a celebration may be in order to recognise his remarkable career, adding with affection: “They don’t build them like John anymore!” Ultimately, reflecting on a journey that has seen JD Relocation Services recognised with two Scottish Enterprise Awards, Jacqui is immensely proud of the fact that she and John have built the company around their own vision and values. Rather than allowing the industry to dictate what their business should be, they have remained true to their belief in providing a personal, professional and comprehensive relocation service. Jacqui sums it up simply: “It’s not just our business. It’s our passion.” “We recognise that we would not be where we are today without the dedication of our team and the trust and support of our customers and industry partners. We are genuinely grateful to everyone who has been part of our journey.” To discover more about the comprehensive relocation services offered by JD Relocation Services, proudly recognised as Best International Relocation Services Provider 2026 and recipient of the Global Mobility Excellence Award 2026, please visit the company’s website below.
