On 1 August 1944, the Warsaw Uprising began, the largest military operation by the underground resistance in German-occupied Europe. This monumental event is a testament to the Polish spirit and their relentless pursuit of freedom. The insurgents aimed to free Warsaw from German occupation and reestablish Polish authority before the Soviet forces arrived. Despite the dire circumstances, the residents of Warsaw, suffering under German oppression, chose to rise up and fight for their city’s liberation and their own freedom.

At 5 p.m. on 1 August 1944, known as ‘W’ Hour, the people of Warsaw took up arms against their occupiers. After 63 intense days of fighting, the uprising concluded, giving birth to a legend of resilience and bravery.

Today, as we commemorate the Warsaw Uprising National Remembrance Day, we honor the courage and sacrifice of the fighters and the citizens of Warsaw. At 5 p.m., the center of Warsaw will pause to remember that defining moment.

All residents and expats are encouraged to join and feel the profound significance of this tribute. Gather in the city center to honor the memory of Warsaw’s heroes and their enduring fight for freedom.

Let their legacy inspire us, as we stand together in solidarity and remembrance.

Capture the moment!

Arkpol Transport Arkpol Group, Lovely moments in the snow, moving and relocations, Moving in winter

There are moments during the transport of our client’s property that are worth remembering. During the recent winter, our team got stuck on the outskirts of southern Germany. The roads were impassable, it was snowing constantly, there was ice under the snow, and even regular passenger cars couldn’t drive. All this meant that we became an attraction in the village, which was temporarily clogged. We were carrying our client’s property, almost 80m3 on the truck and trailer, we had no chance to move on the same day until the services cleared the snow from the roads. We had to spend the night by the road in a random place in total darkness with one house in the distance.

It’s amazing how the owners of a nearby house behaved. We got from them a basket full of sandwiches, hot coffee, milk, marshmallows, and cookies, which were the nicest thing that could have happened to us that day, wonderful people to whom we are grateful and we will not forget how they tried to help us during this stuck situation.

The next morning, admiring the landscape, we continued our journey. The owners of the house re-supplied us with food and coffee and waved us goodbye. Our client waited patiently for us and kept his fingers crossed for us. On site, we met our second team, who also bravely waited for our arrival and we were able to unload the client’s property.

May we always meet such people on our path! Thanks again to those lovely helpfull residents!

Freshest relocation trends

Arkpol Relocations Arkpol Group, new trends

✒ In 2024, companies may adapt their approach to relocating employees in several ways based on emerging trends and changing expectations. Here are some potential changes 🔔

1. Flexible Relocation Packages: Companies may offer more flexible relocation packages to accommodate the evolving needs and preferences of employees. This could include providing options for temporary or short-term relocations, allowing employees to work remotely while transitioning to a new location, or providing support for employees who choose to commute for a period before fully relocating.

2. Remote Work Opportunities: As remote work becomes more prevalent and accepted, companies may offer remote work opportunities in addition to traditional relocations. This flexibility can allow companies to tap into a wider talent pool while retaining valuable employees who may prefer to work from a different location.

3. Cultural Integration Support: Companies may invest more resources into helping relocated employees integrate into new cultures and communities. This can involve cultural training programs, language support, social integration activities, and resource networks to help employees navigate the challenges of adapting to a new location and ensure their well-being and success.

4. Emphasis on Work-Life Balance: Companies may recognize the importance of work-life balance and prioritize policies that support employees’ personal lives and well-being during relocations. This could involve providing additional support for employees’ families during the relocation process, offering work-life balance programs and services, or creating opportunities for employees to maintain their social connections and hobbies in the new location.

5. Sustainable Relocation Practices: Companies might focus on reducing the environmental impact of employee relocations by adopting greener relocation practices. This could include encouraging alternative transportation options, adopting sustainable packing and moving practices.

6. Customized Relocation Experiences: Companies may personalize the relocation process to cater to each employee’s unique needs and preferences. This could involve offering a range of relocation options, providing dedicated relocation assistance, and tailoring support services to meet individual requirements. By personalizing the experience, companies can increase employee satisfaction and reduce the stress associated with relocations.

Actual reactions and changes in employee relocations by companies in 2024 will depend on industry-specific factors, company culture, and the evolving expectations of employees.
All trends meet the needs of both companies and, more importantly, employees whose talents can be used globally.

Door to Door move from Warsaw to Kaarst near Dusseldorf in Germany.

Arkpol DTD, International Move Arkpol Group

🚚 Door to Door service for one of our global partners.

The client, who was moving with his family, spent several years in Poland. We had the pleasure of moving their family to Poland and now back to Germany.

The entire removal amounted to 72 cbm so transport was carried out by truck and trailer.

📦 In Warsaw, the belongings were packed in an apartment called Biały Kamień housing estate in Mokotów district. The delivery was to a single-family house/ detached house in Germany.

During the delivery, we used a Geda elevator, which was needed to lift the sofa to the second floor of the building because of the spiral staircase, through which the sofa did not fit.

👷‍♂️ Packing, loading, and delivery were done by 2 of our teams.

The entire move consisted of furnishings and personal belongings.

Most of the furniture needed to be dismantled and assembled.

Additionally, the client ordered a handyman service to perform minor work and hang some lamps.

All our activities were carried out efficiently and on time 💪 👏 ❤️.

Door-to-door service from Ulm, Germany to Batterkinden, Switzerland.

Arkpol Moving & Relocations Arkpol Group, difficult access, Door-to -Door, DTD Germany to Switzerland

Relocation commissioned by our global partner. The client was moving from Ulm in Germany to Batterkinden in Switzerland. The entire door-to-door service amounted to 37 cbm.

Loading of the goods took place in the historic part of Ulm, the difficult access caused us a challenge, however, our crew did great 💪. In addition, we had to do temporary customs clearance (export/import) due to the lack of required documents. The customs clearance took place at the Weil am Rhein border crossing.

🎉 Everything went according to plan to the customer’s satisfaction!

The whole move was done by our three-person crew. The team did an excellent job with the old, antique furniture, marble countertops, and the piano 🎹 , which was the critical part of the transport and packing.
