Tutela runs the operational life of a family — the relocation, the residences, the collections, the household — so that nothing reaches you except the decision.
Founded on eighteen years of cross-border logistics, customs and operations leadership across three continents. One point of contact. One accountable line through everything.
Each engagement is fixed in scope and fee, delivered under a single operations director accountable for all of it.
A complete operational blueprint before you commit: residency pathways, schooling and healthcare landscape, cost of establishment, duty analysis on vehicles, art and wine, and a week-by-week plan for the move itself.
Your family's relocation, executed end to end: household contents and fine art shipped, insured and customs-cleared; vehicle collections imported and registered; staff recruited and payrolled; healthcare, insurance and schools established — with ninety days of stabilisation after arrival.
Your permanent operations director. Properties maintained and vendors supervised, household staff administered in full compliance, assets and insurance audited quarterly — with a private portal holding your manifest, vault and a request line answered within fifteen minutes, day or night.
Door-to-door movement of what matters between your residences worldwide — car collections in enclosed transport, museum-grade art handling, temperature-controlled cellars, equine and specialist cargo — customs, insurance and condition reporting handled in full.
For families considering the continent, the scarcest resource is not opportunity — it is trustworthy verification on the ground.
The Desk provides independent operational due diligence, market-entry execution and ongoing asset oversight across East and Southern Africa, through a vetted logistics network built over eighteen years. We do not broker or promote investments; we verify whether the operations behind them are real — for a fixed professional fee, paid the same whether our answer is yes or no.
A mutual NDA precedes every conversation. No vendor ever holds the full picture of your affairs, and no engagement is ever named or referenced.
We do not recommend suppliers — we contract them, supervise them, and stand behind the result. Advice without execution is a report; we are not in the report business.
Fixed scopes, fixed fees, insured movements, compliant employment — and one accountable party for all of it: us.
Amaury Hachez has spent eighteen years running cross-border logistics, customs and freight operations across East and Southern Africa and the Gulf — holding senior leadership roles with international operators including CEVA Logistics and AMI Worldwide before founding his own logistics consultancy and a pan-African freight network from Dubai.
Tutela exists because the families now arriving in the UAE kept asking the same question of their lawyers and bankers: who actually handles the move — and everything after? The answer required someone who has cleared containers, contracted carriers, supervised crews, and carried responsibility for cargo worth more than the trucks it rode on. Not a concierge who books; an operator who executes.
An hour, in person or by call, under NDA — to understand what your family needs run, moved, or established.
Within days: exactly what we will do, by when, for a fixed fee. No estimates that grow, no hourly meters.
One operations director takes ownership. You watch progress in your private portal — or simply hear from us when it is done.
