Australia: Melbourne-Based Convido Corporate Housing is celebrating 20 years in the industry in 2019.
The company was one of the pioneers of Australia’s corporate housing industry and expanded into the Philippines a decade ago.
Chairman Chris Miller said: “Being able to offer premium residential apartments in the most sought-after central business district buildings is essential, as is the service commitment to our clients and guests – these are the factors which differentiate Convido Corporate Housing from its competitors. Over the past two decades we have streamlined our customer service in order to provide rapid enquiry response, uncomplicated and reliable administration, together with wonderful apartments in convenient locations, so our corporate clients are well-supported. Guests from interstate and overseas are personally welcomed to their apartment and provided with ongoing service throughout their stay, providing a normalised residential lifestyle, so that they can focus on their assignment.”
“The challenge remains to educate corporates on the benefits of the business model, which offers cost efficiencies and productivity gains. Many of our clients are some of the world’s largest multinational companies. Choosing the corporate housing model, they understand it is more comfortable for the employee on an extended stay assignment than traditional alternatives, avoiding expensive hotels as well as the risk of fixed long-term leases – but it is still a relatively new concept for many businesses,” he added.</p
