Professional job done by the team. I was struggling to get annual leave for the pre-removal visit and they went above and beyond to organise a suitable time for me. The residential move was undertaken with care and the lads were friendly and efficient. I can't fault the service we received.

What a great service even though my move wasn't straightforward. A visit from Tony Brierley was easy and quick to assess what I needed in the way of removals. No pressure was put on me. I didn't have a moving date but that was no issue. Once I knew an approximate date I spoke to Jayne and Elle who booked me on the date I gave them. Unfortunately something cropped up with the property I was moving to and even on the Friday before, I wasn't sure if I would have the keys. On the Monday, Gavin and Malcolm came to pack up my belongings and took my stuff to their depot. Just after they left I was told

Anchor have been ultra helpful and professional for 2 moves (old house- rental house- new house) in every respect. From Martin who visited to give us a quote, Ellen in the office and our move team Tony and Gavin. I cannot praise them highly enough, always helpful, courteous and willing to go that extra mile to help their customer. A special call to Gavin and Tony, they are total professionals.
