Omaha, NE October 2026 — NEI Global Relocation, a global leader in full-service relocation management, is proud to announce the recipients of this year's Own It! Awards. These awards celebrate the exceptional dedication and commitment of service partners who embody NEI's core philosophy of Own It!
The Own It! Awards recognize partners who consistently go above and beyond to ensure client satisfaction and demonstrate a proactive approach to every opportunity. NEI's Own It! philosophy emphasizes offering value, instilling confidence, and taking responsibility to inspire a positive and productive relocation experience.
Andy Dyer, Director, Procurement and Global Service Partner Relations at NEI Global Relocation, expressed his enthusiasm for this year's recipients, stating, "We are incredibly proud to recognize these winners and the outstanding impact they've made. Their dedication, commitment to excellence, and spirit of partnership exemplify the very best of our industry. It is an honor to celebrate their contributions and the meaningful difference they create every day."
The 2026 Own It! Award recipients are:
Icon Relocation
While supporting an assignee's move from a corporate tenancy to a private rental, Icon Relocation identified an opportunity to add value by recommending departure services that had not originally been authorized. Following check-out, the landlord attempted to retain more than £8,500 of a £9,800 deposit. Recognizing that many of the claims lacked legal justification, Icon acted quickly, challenged the charges, and encouraged the assignee to pursue independent arbitration. The final ruling reduced the amount withheld to just £835, saving the client more than £7,000 while reinforcing confidence in departure services and demonstrating true ownership of the situation.
Ward North American
A relocating family facing their fifth move in six years was already under significant stress while preparing for another major transition. The employee's spouse was pregnant with twins, caring for two young children, and working full-time. Recognizing the family's circumstances, Ward North American shifted its focus from simply managing a move to supporting the people behind it. By providing on-site leadership, continuity throughout the relocation process, and hands-on assistance at both origin and destination, Ward helped create a more supportive experience and earned the family's trust during a particularly challenging time.
Corporate Living LLC
When a temporary housing reservation unexpectedly became complicated over Memorial Day weekend due to a landlord error, Corporate Living stepped in immediately to support the transferee and his family. Although the issue did not originate with Corporate Living, the team worked directly with the landlord to secure additional occupancy time and prevent disruption. When the situation continued to create discomfort for the family, Corporate Living went even further by providing complimentary hotel accommodations, ensuring the transferee, spouse, children, and pets had a safe and comfortable place to stay. Their proactive response transformed a stressful situation into a successful service recovery.
Nelson Westerberg
The relocation of Peter and Meredith Coors from Denver to Dallas required far more than transportation logistics. With Mr. Coors unable to be present for much of the move, Meredith carried much of the responsibility during an emotional transition. Nelson Westerberg's team provided exceptional support throughout the process, offering proactive communication, flexibility, and reassurance every step of the way. Through creative specialty packing techniques, the team also protected more than 40 pieces of valuable artwork while eliminating significant third-party crating costs. Their professionalism and compassion helped create an outstanding relocation experience during a difficult life event.
GlobeSpec
GlobeSpec continues to serve as a trusted advisor and collaborative partner, providing expertise well beyond the traditional home inspection process. Throughout the year, the company worked closely with NEI to strengthen inspection protocols, assist account executives in understanding repair recommendations, and provide valuable guidance on local building requirements. Most importantly, when issues arise, GlobeSpec consistently takes ownership, works collaboratively to identify solutions, and stands behind its work. Their integrity, transparency, and commitment to partnership embody the spirit of the Own It! Award.
U.S. Bank
U.S. Bank demonstrated exceptional ownership while supporting a first-time homebuyer relocating through a corporate mobility program. Facing a complex transaction, specialized financing requirements, and unique family considerations, the transferee required both expertise and patience. The U.S. Bank Relocation Mortgage Team responded with empathy, personalized guidance, and transparent communication throughout the process. By keeping both the transferee and NEI informed at every stage, the team created confidence, reduced stress, and delivered a successful outcome.
Porchlight Rental and Destination Services
After relocating to Florida, a transferee and his pregnant spouse discovered significant mold concerns within a rental property they had independently secured. Understanding the urgency of the situation, Porchlight immediately assigned a local expert to conduct an extensive housing search. After carefully reviewing dozens of potential properties, coordinating with listing agents, and verifying availability, the team identified suitable alternatives and quickly helped the family secure a new home. Their diligence, responsiveness, and genuine concern for the family's wellbeing exemplified an outstanding commitment to service.
NYC Navigator LLC
When one of NEI's long-standing service partners unexpectedly ceased operations, NYC Navigator immediately stepped forward to ensure uninterrupted service for clients. The company quickly onboarded trusted consultants, established operations in a new market, and invested in training to strengthen internal capabilities. By taking ownership of the transition, preserving client confidence, and proactively building expertise, NYC Navigator successfully maintained continuity during a period of significant change.
MSS Inc.
MSS demonstrated ownership on a national scale through a multi-city training initiative designed to strengthen service consistency and collaboration across its contractor network. Over a three-month period, the company brought training, best practices, and operational resources directly to more than 200 technicians representing over 100 companies. By investing in education, communication, service quality, and provider relationships, MSS strengthened alignment across its network and reinforced its commitment to delivering superior experiences for clients and transferees.
REA Careers
When a transferee sought assistance returning to the workforce after a lengthy career pause, REA Careers provided personalized coaching focused on building confidence, strengthening professional branding, and navigating the U.S. hiring market. Through resume development, LinkedIn optimization, interview preparation, and ongoing encouragement, the coaching team helped the transferee successfully secure a software engineering position.
