Mads Christian Wikke

Managing Director, GMS

Mads began his career working for a Swiss retail company and after having lived in the UK and traveled internationally for several years, the shift into the relocation industry seemed like a natural transition.

Mads promotes the values of transparent and personal service and a strong focus on the clients individual needs and requirements are a high priority. Putting together the right team to meet the challenging tasks that we face as well as manage client relations has been the most difficult but also the most rewarding part of his job. Striving to remain current and at the forefront of the Danish relocation industry will remain a major part of Mads’ itinerary in the years to come.
