Such a lovely young woman and the rest of her team was also great. Always helpful, on time, polite, great sense of humour. They all just made things very stress free and everything arrived in great shape!!! The team should be praised for their great job.

Gareth was always on top of things and we couldn't have asked for an easier move. The guys here were wonderful also. Very helpful, polite, and very hard working. Thank you all for such a great experience and we look forward to using you again on the way back to NZ!!!"
