 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Everyone at this company have been superb. For a start, all my phone calls to them were answered within 3 rings - always a good sign. The Movers were careful in the way they handled my belongings and they were very honest. In fact they found my wife's diamond ring which was lost for 15 years! None of my belongings were damaged (there were 6 'crates' of them) and the dismantling and reassembling of my furniture also went well. The office staff were always friendly and helpful and made you feel that they would do anything to make your life easier. Thanks to all and keep up the good work.
