Living in Australia
Australia offers a stunning mix of sandy beaches, amazing places to visit, diversity and a laid back attitude. This continent-country is unique, where you can choose from a variety of lifestyles and landscapes, including 15 world heritage sites.
Lifestyle choices include living in one of the big metropolitan areas, where the beach might just be on your doorstep, or the outback, central areas of the country, which is home to a diverse set of animal species, and where your closest neighbour and services might be hundreds of miles away!

Quick, friendly, polite, efficient
Just to let you know that everything went well today. Paul and Luke were absolutely great. I cannot recommend them highly enough. They were quick, friendly, polite, efficient. They were very careful in their work. The company should be proud to have them working for it, and you too Jacki. I would definitely recommend the company because of all of you,and not to forget Martin too.
I hope all the employees in the company are like you four (Paul, Lucas, Jacki, Martin).
Thank you very much
YasminReally pleasant hard working and accommodating team in all aspects.
Do you have any comments about our removals crew?
Tony, Tom, James, Nick, Paul and Sonic did a brilliant job during both trying and vexing work. From manhandling a large stone table to delivery over four floors they were resourceful, cheerful, friendly and professional. When asked to do the near impossible they did not complain and got on with the job without question.
A great team that should be valued.
Where can we improve our removals day experience?
Communication with us on the first day to explain a trailer coupling problem causing a late start would have helped.
Why did you use us?
Siimilar to two other quotes but the initial visit was more convincing and better national coverage.
Do you have any additional comments or concerns regarding any portion of the service you received?

Comments regarding your initial enquiry
Professional, courteous and friendly.
Everything was well packed and clearly labelled
I wanted to let you know that we were very happy with the service you provided. Our temporary move to Coventry went very smoothly. Everything was well packed and clearly labelled. Please say thank you to Rhys, Les and Jamie for all their hard work. The fact that Leon and Dave arrived to help finish loading and then unload the van was great as it meant the job was finished a lot quicker.
We will now start to look for our new permanent home and will definitely contact you for a quote once we are ready to move again.
Thanks again
