MOVES VERSUS INNOVATION

27/04/2018

WILL THERE BE ROBOTIC REMOVALS IN THE NEAR FUTURE? WILL THERE BE INTERPLANETARY RELOCATIONS?

In a world where we see driverless cars on the road and, no doubt, will soon see them flying. In a world where going on holiday in a rocket ship is now merely a question of affordability; where the augmented reality is certainly palpable. A world where technology is everywhere, assisting in operating theatres with the utmost sophistication to save human lives, performing experiments of all kinds and surpassing itself daily at breakneck speed. A world where drones fly over our heads, scanning human reality; where 3D printing makes it possible to print almost anything on a massive scale; where everything is recorded, where there is the BigData and the BlockchainIn a world in which our lives depend on a small device called a mobile phone. In a world that operates on these premises in all fields of business, what can we expect in the removals sector?

GIL STAUFFER ATTENDS THE DEBATE ON INNOVATION ORGANISED BY DIR&GE

On 24 April last, a very interesting meeting was held, organised by dir&gethe leading platform for the managerial environment, and which was powered by Prodwarea company dedicated to business solutions. During this debate as a way of brain stormingThe event brought together a number of different companies from a wide range of fields of activity. The restaurant Tatellocated in the heart of Madrid, was the ideal place to create a relaxed atmosphere where the managers of these organisations opened their minds to let their concerns flow and draw useful conclusions on the general topic under discussion: Innovation.

Thus, the moderation was carried out by John Carlos Lozanoas CEO of dir&ge and the call was attended by Javier Pérez, Digital Practice Manager at Prodware; Arantxa SarasolaDirector of Innovation at ING Spain; Charo ÁlvaroDirector of Communication and Marketing at GIL STAUFFER; Alicia OrtegaGeneral Manager in TuDespensa.com; Alicia Pérez, Marketing Manager Iberia in AVIS Budget Group; Miguel Ocaña, Sales Manager in MPS; José María Visconti, Marketing Director - Outdoors in MAXAM; Ricardo TejeroDirector of Organisation in Leroy Merlin Spain; Miguel Angel Gomez, Director of Marketing and Analysis at Air Miles España S.A. and Javier Pérez, Digital Practice Manager at Prodware.

During the course of the event, each participant offered their particular vision of the concept based on their own business reality. Given that they were companies with very different idiosyncrasies, the unanimity in some of the conclusions was certainly curious: Technology yes, of courseas a investment needed to listen to the customerand meet their needs and facilitating human tasks of the teams that manage day-to-day operations. To this end, it is necessary to good talent management in such a way that the millennials are complementary and bring an effective freshness to the more experienced teamsThe new business cards are almost non-existent in today's world, because there is no such thing as a business card anymore. LinkedIn and in which the Marketing departments must be in complete alliance with those of R&D&I to correctly meet the needs expressed by the client.

Unanimity also in stating that spanish talent is very valuable and it is very important to preserve it through appropriate motivation. Therefore, do not let our talent leave our country and protecting Spain's brand everywhere, are resolutions that we should all put into practice. combining these concepts with that of innovation.

Moving versus innovation? Is innovation making the future?

To innovate is to make the future and most brands are in a constant and very rapid process of change, but then, in the removals Will we soon see interstellar removals? GIL STAUFFER is now 113 years old and is characterised by the fact that it has always been a pioneer company in its sector. However, its eminently artisanal activityimplies that one of its greatest assets is human capital and robotisation is still far from being able to fulfil the current task of providing quality customer service.. So, according to these premises, will it be GIL STAUFFER A pioneering brand in moving to other planets by rockets or other as yet unknown means? Now that the future is already the present, who knows how far the answer to this question could go if certain circumstances arise, such as, for example, the short-term collusion of a brand like GIL STAUFFER with a giant of Internet such as Google or an alliance with Facebook, Amazon o Alibaba.

SPAIN, A COUNTRY TO INVEST IN, WHAT CAN WE EXPECT IN THE REMOVALS SECTOR?

06/04/2018

Attentive to what the future may hold for our country, we are attending in GIL STAUFFER to the meeting entitled "Spain, a country to invest in".organised by the newspaper Expansion and sponsored by Abanca. The topic is attractive for our business, because the removals multiply when there is investment movements and even more so when they come from abroad. Our sector is a faithful indicator, cause and, at the same time, effect of the economic vicissitudes of the moment and investments are, without a doubt, a favourable catapult for our market niche. For this reason, we scrutinise this topic with great enthusiasm.

At the opening of the conference, the Minister of Justice, Rafael CataláThe stability of the legal framework and the strength of the rule of law have been conducive to investment in such a way that, in 2017 broke the record for foreign investment in Spain and the The World Bank ranked us among the top 30 countries in the world. with the best investment climate. The economic and legal reforms have made it possible to create a climate of confidence for business.

Other facts are mentioned during the event that almost give you goose bumps. For example, that Spain is the world's second largest tourist destination having achieved its own record in 2017, second only to France. Also, as you could read already in January in another article of Expansion, Spain is the second favourite country in Europe to invest in real estate.after Germany. On the other hand and apart from the legal certainty and the trust needed to promote businessThe rapporteurs assured that the talent and the infrastructures are aspects of inescapable importance in the quest for stability.

In addition, Eva Valle, Director of the Economic Office of the President of the GovernmentThe Spanish economy has in recent years become a leader in the recovery of production at European level. It is now a strong and competitive economy. Spain is, together with Germany, the single country among the euro area majors exporting more than a third of its GDP. This has been possible thanks to "the recovery of competitiveness, which is a key element of growth and employment recovery". Against this favourable backdrop ".maintaining the current good projections"to "make further progress towards convergence with major world economies"and "the competitiveness and the leading role of our external sector are the best guarantee of the growth in the long term," he said.

On the other hand, on the website of the Marca EspañaThe following is a list of the Spain's strengths as a focus country for investments which, together with what was said at the conference, leads us to the positivism towards a promising and stable future for our country and, therefore, of the removals sectorfor investment future means moving future.

MOVING: ARE THEY GOING TO INCREASE IN 2018? HOW WILL PRICES REACT?

Removals: Will they increase in 2018 and how will prices react?

27/02/2018

All indications are that there is going to be a increase in removals soon, given the the Spanish government's action planThe data presented at the congress held on 23 February for the presentation of the portal preciosdevivienda.esThe real estate market is being considerably boosted by the implementation of a series of measures. In particular, the following will be of particular interest  promoting rental housing in order to reach European standards. In the words of Antonio AguilarIn order to encourage the number of homes to be rented, we are going to provide significant amounts of money so that developers can start up new rental developments," said the Director General of Architecture, Housing and Land of the Ministry of Public Works. This is the new State Housing Planwhich will be the cornerstone of the government real estate policy for this year, 2019, 2020 and 2021. Its approval, which is expected in the first half of March, will entail the launch of a new programme of aid for the development and rehabilitation of rental housing.

The portal preciosdevivienda.es constitutes a summary of house price reports and statistics published by the entities participating in the portal: Catastro Inmobiliario, Consejo General del Notariado, Euroval, Fotocasa, Idealista, INE, Ministerio de Fomento, Pisos.com, Registradores de España, ST Sociedad de Tasación and Tinsa.. Thus, with the aim of bringing together the statistical tools currently in place to provide reliable data from which conclusions can be drawn in a transparent and clear manner, the portal will help to understand the methodologies of the different studies on house prices published in Spain.

At  GIL STAUFFERWe, who enthusiastically attended the presentation of the aforementioned portal and the explanation of the encouraging immediate future, trust that the measures proposed will be to the benefit of all the agents involved in the real estate market, as it is undoubtedly one of the fundamental pillars of the health of the economy of the European Union. Spain. Moreover, given this prospect of interest in the dynamisation of the Spanish real estate market, it is to be expected that removal companies have a corresponding share of the market resulting from the beneficial promotions in the housing sectorHowever, it is to be hoped that government measures do not conflict with those adopted by other institutions such as municipalities, etc., since, for example, the City Council of Madrid approved a rise of the removal rate on 28 December last year, already christened as the "rate"which generates an increase in the cost of the service. higher than 800% 49 euros per vehicle, to which a new amount of 378 euros must now be added. So Will consumers understand this measure and its logical increase in the price of removals in Madrid or will they opt for pirate companies encouraging the black market of such services that are much cheaper thanks to their illegality?

So what is going to happen with removals: are they going to increase in 2018? How will prices react? Time will tell.
