Dubrovnik 2018 - Reception for Beverly Mayhew Retirement
Steve Burson - Orientations Inc
On Tuesday 24th May before the start of EURA’s wonderful conference in Dubrovnik, Orientations Inc.- Relo Network Asia held a small event to celebrate the career of Beverly Mayhew in our mobility industry. Beverly set up her Asia based, DSP business back in 1981 when the mobility industry we know today was in its infancy. The H&R Group (the parent company of “Relo Japan”) acquired Beverly’s business in July of 2016 with a focus on continuing Beverly’s legacy and also with a view to enabling Beverly to retire and start the next step in her illustrious life. Beverly officially retired in December of 2017 and this event was held in her honor as a way for her to connect with everyone, not for the final time, but to celebrate her professional career and allow everyone an opportunity to continue their relations with Bev privately into the future. We kept things quite low key and casual, which hopefully allowed all the participants to catch up with Bev, but also for them to have a chat with their colleagues from the industry before the conference started in earnest. Guests were encouraged to leave Bev messages on pre-prepared postcards and there were some brief speeches from yours truly and then Beverly herself, amongst which some gifts from the Orientations Inc.- Relo Network Asia Team were passed onto Bev by Sharon Michnay. Sharon has taken over Beverly’s position as President of the Orientations Inc.- Relo Network Asia entity in the US.
As the branding of “Orientations” slowly moves towards a full re-brand to “Relo Network Asia”, I would like take this opportunity to thank everyone for attending this celebration and making this opportunity for Beverly to catch up with everyone so memorable.
