Removal firms

Any advice appreciated on firms. Last time had a company move and used Pickfords. Were not at all happy with them eg piled son's carefully constructed models in a box so they were all broken. Used newspaper on china etc.
Moving from Manchester area to Devon.
Tips on saving money would be helpful. Quite a lot to move.
Thanks, Linda

    My boyfriend's parents used Britannia to move them at the end of last year from Hull to Leicester. They had also used Pickfords in the past and would NEVER use them again. However, they were delighted with the people that helped them - courteous, helpful, considerate etc etc.

    Click on the blue "Britannia" to go to their website.
