Corporate United Growth and New Members
As Corporate United expands into the mid-Atlantic
region, our member growth is rapidly approaching
100. This exciting development is being supported
by the growth of our infrastructure.
In 2006 Corporate United added a contract manager
and two member development resources. In 2007 we
have already brought on a sourcing operations
leader and another member development resource.
With plans to add an additional 2-3 people before
the end of the year, Corporate United remains
committed to investing in our business to support
our expanding membership.

Industry Overview
Relocation Services is a large and complex
industry that includes a wide variety of
suppliers providing a broad array of services.
Understanding the current state of the industry
puts buyers in the drivers seat
- Mergers and acquisitions have dramatically
impacted the relocation services landscape over
the last 5-7 years - Like many industries, a number of providers in
this space have experienced recent accounting
issues - The increased involvement of procurement groups
in the sourcing and management of this category
has altered the market - We are in the midst of an upswing in the market,
this rise in demand is having an effect on
corporate buyers

providers dedicated to superior performance - Leverage the expertise of experienced
