AUGUST NEWS
As summer reaches its peak, August brings another busy period for the removals industry. Families are making the most of the school holidays, house moves are in full swing, and removal companies across the United Kingdom continue to help customers settle into new homes before the autumn season begins.
It is a month that demands hard work, careful planning and exceptional customer service, and once again Move Assured members continue to show exactly why they are trusted by so many people.
Alongside the day to day moves, our members are celebrating business milestones, investing in their businesses, supporting their local communities and strengthening the partnerships that make our network so special.
In this months newsletter, we are delighted to celebrate those achievements, recognise member successes and share more examples of the professionalism, commitment and teamwork that define the Move Assured family.
Thank you for everything that you continue to do to raise standards within the removals industry. We hope you enjoy this months update.

🎉🇧🇬 NEW MOVE ASSURED MEMBER – SPACE 4 TIME LTD 🇧🇬
Congratulations and welcome to Move Assured Congratulations Space 4 Time Ltd 🎉🇧🇬🎉
Move Assured are delighted to welcome Space 4 Time Ltd, based in Bulgaria, and offer accreditation to their professional company.
🎉NEW MOVE ASSURED MEMBER – VCB REMOVALS 🎉
🎉Congratulations to Chris Baillon and the team at VCB Removals, Move Assured are delighted to have accredited this successful company🎉
Very Clever Boxes, VCB, was founded by Chris and Abby following the loss of Chris’s sister, Victoria, after her courageous battle with breast cance.
During this incredibly difficult time, the family experienced first-hand how overwhelming it can be to clear a loved one’s home while coping with grief.
With limited time and no trusted service available to respectfully manage Victoria’s treasured possessions, they recognised the need for a company that could provide practical support with genuine compassion.
🌟 Review for Move Assured 🌟
“We have been pleased to be an accredited member of move assured from the very early days of Dapper Direct ltd. John, Lesley and their professional team have given us much support over the years and work hard to help its members set a ‘high bar’ in the industry. Well done Move Assured and thank you.”
We are delighted to end our newsletter on such a positive note
As another busy summer month draws to a close, we would like to thank every Move Assured member for the professionalism, dedication and care you bring to our industry every single day.
Whether you have been celebrating a milestone, investing in your business, supporting your local community or simply delivering outstanding service to your customers, you are helping to raise standards across the removals industry and strengthen the Move Assured family.
We hope you all enjoy the rest of the summer and wish you continued success throughout the busy weeks ahead.
"Success is not measured by how many moves you complete, but by the trust you build, the standards you uphold and the difference you make along the way."
With love,
The Move Assured Team ♥️
Have a great September ♥️
