As with my first move, the crew were excellent. They arrived in good time, they were happy at their work and they did a very good job. They did everything they could make the day as painless for me as they could. I have nothing but praise for their work rate and helpfulness.

Mr & Mrs Gibbard

Domestic move (October 2023)

Our move was handled by Jamie briggs removals and storage, we had a member of the team call and give my wife and I a very competitive quote for the works.  Delivering our furniture to our new home we found the same super service and care was taken by Jamie’s team. I would have no hesitation in recommending Jamie Briggs removal and storage.

Alex Brown
