Industry news — A new chapter of leadership.
Cédric Castro, CEO of the MOBILITAS Group—Santa Fe Relocation’s parent company—has been appointed President of FIDI, the global alliance for international moving and relocation companies. The announcement was made at the FIDI General Assembly on 30 April, where the role was officially handed over by outgoing President Derek Duffy. This marks an important milestone.

Its mission is to uphold operational excellence, trust, and compliance across international moves—values that directly align with the way we work at Santa Fe. Commenting on the appointment, Samuel Mergui, CEO of Santa Fe Relocation, said this change represents continuity and confidence: “For our clients and partners, it reinforces our long-term focus and the strength behind every relocation we deliver.”
