Hi Charlie,
We're now moved into our new place. I wanted to drop you this note to say a massive thank you to Tim, Sam and Charlie. I know you employ your teams to get the job done in a professional and safe manner, however I'm sure you must also select them based on a great attitude and good cheer, because there was lots of that in evidence. They were fantastic and nothing was too much for them. Also we appreciated the guys following all the Covid safety protocols in these times. Thanks very much!

We have moved a few times (even across the Atlantic) but this was the first time that we used a company and we will think twice about using a removal company next time. In hindsight, Pretlove's was pretty expensive given that we only moved 2 hours away from Cambridge and we only had two beds, a table, a small wardrobe, a few shelves and boxes to move. The whole move seemed pretty unprofessional. First of all the movers arrived late and then one of them asked for coffee while standing in our kitchen which was packed up. Trying to be accommodating, I did go out of my way and bought them coffee.
