Totalserve Management Ltd
With the summer period now well under way, I would like to take a moment to wish to you all a relaxing and safe summer vacation. There are of course many people around the world, including clients and associates of ours, who are affected and/ or struggling as a result with everything that has been going on. To these I wish courage, strength and a quick fair resolution.
At the same time, I would like to thank our valued customers and associates for their continued trust and cooperation. Also a big thank you to all our colleagues here at Totalserve Group for their continuous and exceptional efforts during this difficult time.
In general, the global outlook over the last few years has been marked with continuous unprecedented challenges and difficulties.
There was the pandemic, war conflicts with an international effect, political uncertainties and global financial turmoil. At the same time, our industry has endlessly been bombarded with new or increased regulatory compliance requirements.
Under this new era, business people and corporations engaged in international transactions or investments are now, more than ever before, on the lookout for more practical and efficient solutions.
The recent international and domestic developments have created new dynamics for the Cyprus choice for both companies and individuals.
