The mid-90s saw scores of young professionals arriving in the UK from South Africa,
Australia, and New Zealand. Among them was Reg Bamford, a South African, who

immediately saw the need for a service that could help expats like him with their visas,
tax affairs, and forex. He founded a small company called 1st Contact.

As more and more of these expats chose to make the UK a permanent home, they found that

their financial and tax affairs got more complex. 1st Contact continued to adapt to cater to
the increasingly sophisticated challenges their clients faced and became Sable International.

By bringing on board dozens of cross-border experts, Reg Bamford’s brainchild became
a company spanning three continents with offices in the UK, Europe, Australia, and
across Africa.

Sable International is today known as the cross-border expert that offers a host of
services empowering businesses and individuals to overcome the challenges of global
trade and citizenship.
