Britannia Movers International (BMI), the UK’s largest independent
removals group, has joined forces with four European removals groups to
provide customers with a seamless, end-to-end service when they move homes
to or from continental Europe. The companies are DMS Deutsche Mobelspedition
GmbH & Co KG (Germany), Les Gentlemen du Demenagements (France), Mondial
Movers (Netherlands) and Professionisti del Trasloco (Italy).
Arranging home moves for employees in Europe should become easier and
cheaper due to the new co-operation. Operators will be able to save costs
by running full trucks on both legs of a move and by reducing crew sizes
because of the availability of depots, facilities, equipment and experienced
staff at each end of a trip. BMI employs over 1,200 staff and operates
more than 400 removal vans.
BMI’s chief executive John Court says the partnership means BMI can
reduce costs, improve efficiency and offer uniform service standards for
removals throughout continental Europe. He adds that BMI will extend its
co-operation to include joint sales and marketing efforts and the establishment
of common quality standards.
