Commercial relocation expert Jim Stevens has argued that moving a business location is not an enhanced version of moving home, but a business continuity event that involves many people, company departments and equipment.
If the move does not go well, it risks the reputation of a company. He says that business leaders expect that a commercial relocation service will securely and safely move items from one place to another with the minimum of disruption to the business. Clients of moving services expect a high level of service.
Stevens says that the primary objective of a move is business continuity. Employees want to leave a workplace and quickly become more productive wherever they go to. The business needs to have all its assets and equipment moved swiftly and without damage.
In the UK, removal services abide by the BS 8522:2009 – Furniture removal activities standard, which establishes standards for three main areas. These include initial contact, including information gathering and quotes; operational competence, including vehicle standards, packing processes, and staff competence; and monitoring of customer satisfaction and the handling of complaints.
These standards are being revised, which shows that the industry is willing to improve beyond its already high standards.
Office moving requires specialised knowledge instead of simply being added to a home removal service. At Merseyside Movers & Storers, we have a team of experts who are experienced in office relocation. Talk to us today to learn more about office removals in Merseyside.
