Business Relocation Testimonials

Andrew Porter Limited recently undertook a major relocation of office furniture and equipment for Skipton Business Finance Limited (part of Skipton Building Society).

Andrew Porter Limited provided us with a solution that enabled the best re-use of furniture and equipment from a redundant call centre in Scarborough which needed to be transferred to a refurbished property in Birmingham.

The needs of the project included working to incredibly tight deadlines in-between the refurbishment works being completed and the operational "go-live" date of the office.

ln addition to relocating the furniture and equipment, Andrew Porter Limited project managed the coordination of the move including the full decommissioning and re-commissioning of furniture in Birmingham which included reassembly.

The overall success of the relocation programme was down to the planning and management that was driven by the Andrew Porter Limited team. I was also impressed by the professionalism on site of their crew who showed the up most courtesy and respect to our employees and the other contractors at all times.

Part of the reason we contracted Andrew Porter Limited was because of their integrity and capability in addressing security issues related to relocating confidential documents and client information.

We have not been left disappointed at any part of the relocation, attention to detail and their willingness lo be flexible was remarkable. | wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to any size of organisation either from the Corporate or SME markets.

My thanks and appreciation to at Andrew Porter Limited, for the hard work, the professionalism and dedication to doing an excellent job, that their guys showed.

These six guys were industrious and painstaking in their work and I was further impressed at how they then went round tidying up after themselves. They could quite easily have left this to the cleaners, who were already on site. Screws, picture clips, splinters of wood, pens, even pieces of paper were all collected up and disposed of.

I admit to being doubtful at the outset, that the whole building could be cleared in one day, knowing the amount which needed to be removed, but they worked tirelessly to complete the work in less than six hours and I feel that their efforts should be acknowledged.

Just to say thanks everything is back in place.  The crew were very efficient and again very helpful by adjusting shelves where folios over flowed the allocated area saving our staff a job to alter them.

Just  to say how pleased we were with the service received from your company during our recent office relocation. The system for labelling items and crates was very effective and the guidance notes for staff were very helpful, leading to a relatively stress free move.

On the move day the removals team were courteous, hardworking  and extremely helpful and obliging and the whole process went without hitch.

Even our IT contractors who were on hand to install our IT equipment at the new address commented it was the most efficient office move they had witnessed.

Please pass on our praise and thanks to the team involved.

As I start to recover from it all I just wanted to send a message of thanks to you and the team for all the hard work and care that was put into our move by Andrew Porter Ltd.

The team made a stunning effort to pack 4 containers + piano and remove my goods to store in Kendal.

Then they made another superlative effort to pack the company goods into two wagons and shift to Manchester. Ably assisted by two new additions from Manchester - they unpacked one wagon into the new warehouse even though it was moving into everyone's Friday night social time.

A swift re-arrangement and bit of flexible planning on behalf of all parties allowed for the second to be unpacked the following Wednesday morning - and how nice it was for me the client to see at least one of the original faces (Les) from the previous week's packing team. Sensible and possibly essential for you, it was good man management nonetheless.

I can confirm I will confidently use Andrew Porter Ltd for any further removing requirements - and am actually already looking forward to the day when the stored goods can come back out and the van comes rolling round the corner. I will get the kettle on!
