CROWN WORLDWIDE APPOINTS REGIONAL DIRECTOR FOR AUSTRIA, GERMANY AND SWITZERLAND

Jurgen Zyderveld Appointed Regional Director for Seven Crown Facilities in Central Europe

ZURICH, Nov. 11, 2008—The Crown Worldwide Group, a worldwide leader of global mobility, relocation services, information management and high value logistics, announces the appointment of Jurgen Zyderveld to the position of Crown Worldwide's regional director for Austria, Germany and Switzerland. Zyderveld is based in Zurich and officially began his new role on Nov. 1, 2008.

Crown has already established operations in Vienna, Frankfurt, Munich, Basel, Geneva, Lausanne and Zurich. Zyderveld's mission will be to continue the growth in the region and fill in some of the key cities where Crown needs to be present. Apart from moving and global mobility services Crown has established records management service centers in the region, too.

David Muir, CEO Crown EMEA, commented, "Jurgen is a proven professional who has rapidly grown our Swiss market share over the last four years, and this strategy will fast-track our German expansion where clients are increasingly seeking true global partners in our key service areas."

Zyderveld joined Crown in 1995 and graduated from the first Crown University (Crown's internal management program) program in 1997. He speaks several languages and holds a bachelor's degree in General Management. His career has enabled him to serve in management roles in Singapore, Korea, Italy and the Netherlands. Prior to this promotion he served as Regional Business Development Manager for Europe and then as country manager for Crown Switzerland. Zyderveld took over responsibility for Crown Austria in early 2008, and will now add Germany to his areas of responsibility.

He said of his plans for the future, "to be able to work more closely with our corporate clients, we aim to extend our offices' network in the German speaking markets and I see great growth potential in our records management and fine arts divisions."
