About Britannia Movers International

moving house Leeds Britannia was formed in 1981 aiming to provide comprehensive and competitive shipping services for the small to medium sized 'family' removal businesses in the UK and to enable them to compete on equal terms with the larger established specialist businesses mainly centred in London and its environs.

The founders of Britannia, Roy Fox & John Court evolved the principal of a cooperative service which could operate at minimal overhead costs and they were soon joined by four other reputab Removals le businesses. Over the next 12 years the business steadily grew and with the appointment of a full time Sales Manager Britannia expanded into the corporate moving market becoming a key supplier to the Ministry of Defence and all the main relocation companies. Membership of the group by then comprised 50 businesses including one in Australia & two in South Africa with a large number of carefully selected agents operating throughout the world. A press review of the moving industry's future published in 1986 drew an interesting comment from Pickfords who openly stated that "Britannia was the business to watch" and during the late 1990's the trade grew to acknowledge that, in the UK, Britannia was the market leader and with visibly more vehicles in BMI livery on the road than any of its competitors.

With ever increasing demand for its services from private, corporate and international clients the Board decided, in 1997, to upgrade its registration from a Limited company to a PLC involving stricter financial disciplines through higher audit requirements. During this period of rapid expansion Britannia opened discussions with like groups in Europe who were developing along similar lines and linked up with the major groups in Germany, Holland, France and Italy to form the European Moving Group (E.M.G.). In 2001 Britannia relocated its head offices, for corporate, commercial and international services to larger new purpose built premises at Croydon. Today, Britannia is an internationally recognised brand and still has the largest network of depots within the UK compared to its competitors.
