“For us, Amsterdam is not a trend, but a strategy” — GAP Vassilopoulos about their choice for Synderella Lighthouse

Why an international financial service provider consciously chooses a strategic office in Amsterdam?

The G.A.P. Vassilopoulos Group has been an established name in Cyprus since 1964 — and now far beyond. With activities in transport, logistics, hospitality, environmental services and a strong position in financial services, GAP is active in more than one market. In North-Western Europe, the organization primarily focuses on retail financial services via Western Union. Their Dutch office recently moved from Delft to Synderella Lighthouse in Amsterdam.

We spoke to the team about this strategic move.

What exactly does GAP Vassilopoulos do?

“In Cyprus, we offer an integrated range of services in transport, finance, HR, hospitality and environmental services,” says the team. “In the Netherlands and North-Western Europe, the focus is on financial services — we are a master agent for Western Union Retail Services and manage hundreds of sub-agencies in the region.”

What makes your organization unique?

“We combine experience and diversity,” explains the team. “With more than 55 years of expertise and a multi-service approach, we offer customers everything under one roof. We do this with our own systems, processes and scalability — but always with local finesse.”

Global companies choose GAP because of:

  • The reliability of long-term collaborations
  • Deep market knowledge in Cyprus and beyond
  • A proven track record in successful implementations
  • Ability to rapidly scale to larger markets

Why move to Synderella Lighthouse?

“Amsterdam is not only a logical choice, but also a strategic one,” says GAP. “From Lighthouse, we can operate better within our international office network. In addition, the location is easily accessible from both Schiphol and the city center.”

What was the deciding factor:

  • Business climate: Amsterdam matches the character of our financial services
  • Accessibility: Sloterdijk is optimally accessible for both cars and public transport
  • Facilities: Modern, representative office spaces with excellent parking options
  • Synderella: Flexible, professional and focused on support
