Britannia Bradshaw International Removals in Manchester & Birmingham
Britannia Bradshaw began life in 1884 as John Bradshaw & Son removers in Stockport, Cheshire, Greater Manchester. Our removal company headquarters are now based in our modern, purpose-built warehouse in Trafford Park, Manchester, which was specially designed for the storage of household furniture and effects.
For removals in Birmingham, our Birmingham branch and storage warehouse provides our customers in Birmingham and the West Midlands with the same professionalism and quality service with a smile that we've been providing to customers in Manchester since 1884.
A moment in time
We wanted to capture a moment in time that reflects how our business looks after all our years managing removals, so we had this painting commissioned by. I. G. Mackay. It is brilliant to have this piece of art on show to demonstrate how quickly things change over short periods of time and remind us of the present. The painting will sit in our Manchester headquarters.

Would you like to tell us anything about your move team?
They were stars of the highest calibre, so organised and helpful, nothing was too much trouble.
It was a long day since due to a national banking system problem the legal completion was late and they waited over 4 hours at my new property before the keys were released. Once we were in the four guys worked as a team and quickly, though with great care, moved me in. I could not have wished for a better removal experience. All the guys were great but their leader George was a brilliant communicator and made sure I was okay throughout the process.

Thankfully Britannia Bradshaw took much of the stress off me
Email to Sam
Thank you for your help in make my house move go as smoothly as possible. I would also like to convey my personal thanks to the team that physically moved my belongings, George, Dave, Duncan and Mike. They were all brilliant throughout the process and nothing was too much trouble. As you are aware I was victim of late key syndrome. With that in mind I knew the lads were quite entitled to call it a day and finish the move another day. However, they were patient and gave me enough time to thankfully obtain the keys. Once we were in it was amazing how efficiently they worked as a team shifting my gear. Despite the time they took great care and worked with me on what went where etc.
I have been a senior manager in a service industry and trust me these people were top notch. George kept liaising with me so fantastic coordination and communication skills.
I will make it my business to recommend Britannia Bradshaw to all of my friends and colleagues.
Thank you again
