The school, which is a member of the AEFE network (Agency for French teaching abroad), held its annual cross-country running competition.

About ten AGS-branded tents were lent to the international school and marked out the course of the race. Nearly 2000 high school and college students participated in the event.

AGS Morocco partnered with the school for the second year and will take part in many other outdoor high school and college sports events in future.

Mandated by an Abu Dhabi interior design company, the AGS Morocco team conducted this work on all 5 of the university’s sites, from the main building with the classrooms and teachers’ offices to the various on campus accommodation sites.

Congratulations to our Moroccan branch for this beautiful work handled professionally and with great spirit!

The Flambeau Arc-En-Ciel Rabat Association, a Lions Club branch, organised and set up the Caravane Solidaire (Solidarity Caravan). The aim of this humanitarian project was to provide 150 families from three different ‘douars’ – isolated villages located in Sitti Fadma in the High Atlas, some at an altitude of 4 000m – with much-needed food supplies.

AGS Movers Morocco offered to pack, transport and distribute the goods in Sitti Fadma, where nimble pick-up vehicles and even donkeys took over the transport to finally reach the people in need. Thanks to the donations collected by the association, each family was given a box including flour, sugar, olive oil, lentils, tea, couscous, rice, two blankets and some clothes.

It is a high priority task for AGS to take care of the communities where its branches are located. By bringing help to the victims of these floods, AGS Movers Rabat has done a fantastic job in favour of its local community. Helping local communities by assisting the victims of natural disasters is just another way we look to utilise our network and lend a helping hand.

AGS also participates in the UN Global Compact, and works to engage in activities which uphold values in the areas of human rights, labour standards, the environment and anti-corruption.

Congratulations and many thanks to AGS Rabat for its joint effort with the Flambeau Arc-En-Ciel Rabat Association, helping those affected to keep their heads up.

The comprehensive five-day ‘Essentials in International Moving’ seminar consisted of a classroom session, covering everything from professional packing services and loading to freight forwarding, quotations and contracts and insurance.  Site visits to sea, railway and air-freight terminals were also included.

At the time of the course Louis was Deputy Branch Manager for AGS Movers Morocco (he has since moved to AGS Movers Algeria), and what makes his achievement even more remarkable is that this was the first such FIDI Academy seminar he had attended.

“I was very proud that amongst other competitors it was an employee from AGS who was selected as the top student,” says Louis of the recognition. “What made that possible is the fact that AGS’ Future Branch Managers’ Training schedule is very broad: we really see all aspects of the removal industry and that helps in the FIDI Academy.”

Chantal Fera, FIDI Academy’s manager, stresses the importance of these seminars, which are held around four times a year (depending on demand).

“The FIDI Academy training seminars are unique because they are developed and delivered by industry experts,” she explains.

“Participants gain not only knowledge in all areas of international moving but also they do share their experience with 30 international colleagues and they make friends for life – which also means future business opportunities with trustful agents they know and they have worked with.”

AGS Morocco’s branch manager, Jean-Noël Boulnois, also congratulated Louis and his colleague Emilie Ducert – who participated in the same seminar and also received the FIDI EiM diploma.

“As AGS Morocco’s Branch Manager, I am of course proud of Louis; his success reflects the good training he was delivered by the branch”, says Jean-Noël. “The whole team of AGS Morocco congratulates and thanks them for representing us with brio”.
