Focus | Allied Pickfords
The big name in the moving game There’s an old saying that the stress of moving house is second only to a death in the family. But as far as Allied Pickfords New Zealand is concerned, there’s no reason the process shouldn’t run smoothly, provided you select a reputable moving carrier.
As the world’s largest removals company with more than 600 locations across the globe, the team at Allied Pickfords is well versed in assisting customers with their next journey in life. With a proud history dating back to 1666 in the UK, Allied Pickfords has been providing a wide range of local and international moving services to corporate, government and retail customers. Services include packing and wrapping of household furniture items, and preparing these for door to door transportation across the street or across the planet. Allied Pickfords also has purpose built warehouses to store furniture items, as well as its own commercial moving division which specialises in office moving, hotel fit-outs, library relocation and project management services. Allied Pickfords New Zealand is the market leader when it comes to operational expertise, resources and local knowledge, and has been a part of New Zealand’s moving landscape for more than 80 years, with 10 locations across the country. Allied Pickfords believe the combination of comprehensive staff training, utilising the right techniques and equipment, and providing customers with a reliable and comprehensive service is the key to a successful move. As testament to the strength of its services, Allied Pickfords was recently awarded AsiaPacific International Moving Company of the Year at the 2013 Expatriate Management and Mobility Awards.
Helping the Christchurch rebuild move forward Allied Pickfords has recently seen a substantial increase in activity in the Christchurch region with the rebuilding program now fully underway. The company also marked the official opening of its brand new Christchurch facility with the Right Honourable Prime Minister, John Key. The new state of the art facility has contributed strongly to the Christchurch community and assisted in creating new jobs for local residents in the region.

Testimonial “I have nothing but praise for my whole experience with the Allied Pickford staff that assisted us during what could have been a pretty stressful time. In spite of what must be an incredibly busy time in Christchurch, the email responses to my questions from Leisa in the office were always amazingly fast, courteous and helpful, and the move team were simply outstanding too. Always going out of their way to assist and also extremely courteous and friendly, even when I was not as organised as I should have been! They made our move as pleasant as it could possibly be. AP will always have my full recommendation as I talk about our experience with others.” – Richard Coulbeck, Christchurch
