Why did you choose to move/store with us?
It was a decision based on cost. Your surveyor won you the contract with a correct assessment of how much stuff we had. The competitors over estimated and as such over quoted.

Thanks again for the understanding from today, it was painful but we got there.
I also wanted to say that the guys today were absolutely top class from start to finish, incredibly helpful and polite, nothing was too much bother and it helped make what was a really difficult and stressful day for us a hell of a lot easier.
A real credit to the business, and if we move again we will 100% be using Britannia Goodwins thanks to those guys.
Thanks

Would you like to tell us anything about your move team?
I had 2 moves. One from my father's property on the 25/6 and into storage and then on the 12/7. Gareth and Jack were simply outstanding on the 25/6. It was a very hot day and they had to carry all the items down 8 flights of stairs as unable to use the lift. They were organised, friendly, really hard working and respectful of the property. 10/10. I therefore was very pleased to see that they had been allocated to me on the 12/7 along with John. Once again outstanding service. Hard working, fast, nothing was too much trouble. Polite and respectful and also patient when I decided I wanted a piece of furniture moved ..again. I cannot praise the team enough. They are a credit to Britannia Goodwins and made my move a lot more bearable and funny at times which lightened the whole stress of moving. If I ever move again (long shot !) then I will want the same team.. Simply the Best! Please pass on my gratitude to them all and in particular Gareth and Jack who had the tough job of the stairs!
