Removal firms for relatively small load

Stamford, Lincolnshire
I've heard it's a nice place to rent/buy a place in. Any parts of it that should be avoided? I know the train service is sort of ok (hourly) but that it finishes quite early. What are the shops like? Is it all designer boutiques or are there shops for real shoping?! :)
