St Helens Law, Dec 2010
St Helens Law required to merge two city centre offices into one location which involved the movement of approx 30 staff. From a service and profitability aspect, it was imperative that their company downtime was eliminated throughout the relocation.
The Removal Team tendered for and were successful in being awarded the contract to relocate St Helens Law from their existing office in St Helens to their new recently renovated offices the other side of the town.
The Removal Team liaised closely with the appointed St Helens Law Project Co-ordinator to advise and instruct on how to best implement the move.
“The client stated that it was imperative the move had zero impact on the service delivery of their company. We therefore planned the relocation to commence on a late Friday afternoon at 05:00pm. It was vital that all St Helens Law staff and IT had to be operational first thing on the following Monday morning at 09.00am,” said Paul Tinsley, Commercial Operations Manager.
For the relocation, The Removal Team conducted a thorough Health and Safety and Risk Assessment audit, provided over 150 secure and robust storage crates with colour coded labels and security tags, deployed an 18te Class 2 & 7.5te removal trucks and supplied 2 Team Leaders and an additional 8 Porters.
On the day of the relocation, our specialist IT team were required to decommission, pack and wrap various high worth equipment from each desk into secure IT crates. These were then carefully loaded along with the furniture onto our trucks with the aid of a 1.5te tail-lift for ease and safe protection of the goods.
Where required, desks and cabinets were dismantled to enable them to be moved out of the offices with ease and to minimise damage to not only the furniture but to the building. These were then reassembled upon delivery.
At 10:00pm that evening, the fully loaded removal vehicles were parked indoors overnight in our secure purpose built storage facility.
The following day, the furniture, IT equipment and crates were delivered to the new offices. The exact location of the items within the building were detailed on our plans, and the items were thus positioned accordingly.
By 3:00pm Saturday (2 hours ahead of schedule), all of the planned relocation was successfully completed with St Helens Law ready to service their clients once again on Monday morning.
"We have used The Removal Team on several occasions. I never thought that you could ever describe a removal company as "professional" but they are.
They are welll organised and personable. The staff work very hard to please and they know what they are doing. Nothing seems too much for them.
I would recommend this company every time without reservation."
