This has been the smoothest long distance move within the UK that we have done - despite (or because of) our increasing age and lack of energy. We cannot speak highly enough about the whole team, especially Sam and Tim, who worked over four days to pack, move, and unload our belongings into our new home. They were swift but careful, and very polite and reassuring. They also communicated well with us, which reduced our anxiety through knowing what was happening at each stage. Thorough training gave excellent results. We could have accepted a cheaper quote, but are so glad that we were able to use

Thank you to Willis of Skipton for a successful and worry free move from Ilkley to Cambridgeshire. The service given by the Team, specifically Freddie and Tim, was first rate. They were punctual, professional, courteous, careful and, above all, friendly and NOTHING was too much trouble. I really enjoyed meeting them and "working" with them during the 3 day move process. My Mum [who was the one moving] and myself are delighted and will recommend Willis of Skipton to anyone who asks. Thank you again and best regards. Nick Tindall [moved Nov 21].

We undertook a potentially frustrating move from a large 4-bed home in Yorkshire to an unknown/unselected property in Toronto, Canada. The Britannia team were excellent, really helpful and supportive as we made last minute changes to items to be taken/left behind. The staff were all very engaging with the move, even after the goods were packed and we realised there was an important document left behind, they seamlessly found the box & the item. Cant recommend them highly enough.

From our very first meeting Dan helped me at every stage, my move was over three days from Earby to
Norfolk.
Freddie and Tim loaded day one, day two after driving 200 miles to Norfolk unloaded the same day finishing late evening, fantastic hard working effort by both of them. I would definitely recommend Britannia Removals for any type of house move, thank you.

Wonderful service from start to finish. Professional estimation visit and quotation. Packing service was superb, with great care taken of valuables and dismantling of furniture. The removals team could not have been more willing, patient and helpful. Heartily recommended.

Britannia have moved us twice in the last 3 months as well as on other occasions over the years. As expected, we once again received exceptional service. They did 2 complete house moves for us and also some packing, and supplied all the packaging including wardrobe boxes. Moving house involves a huge amount of hard work, but as soon as the guys from Britannia arrive, you can breathe a sigh of relief and relax, whilst they take the weight off your shoulders, and get you where you need to be. I wouldn't use any other removal firm and highly recommend them to anyone with a house move coming up.
