As a removals company based in Preston, we’re always on the lookout for ways to make our operations smoother and more cost-effective. Recently, we were booked for a large-scale removal project in London — not an everyday occurrence for us, but certainly one we’re well equipped for. It turned out to be the perfect opportunity to combine tasks and save on logistics by replenishing our moving supplies while in the capital.
The removal itself involved packing up a substantial home, with a full range of contents from fragile kitchenware and books to bulky furniture and sentimental items. We made our way to London with a van fully loaded with packing gear and protective materials, ensuring everything was handled with care and professionalism, as our clients have come to expect.
Once we completed the job and saw the client happily settled into their new home, we turned our attention to something that had been looming on our to-do list: restocking our box supplies. Over the past few months, our reserves had been gradually dwindling — a result of our high workload and the increasing number of clients who take advantage of our pre-packed box packages. Instead of organising a separate delivery or supplier run, we decided to make the most of our time in London by sourcing new materials right there and then.
That’s when we turned to a brilliant local supplier: moving supplies in London. Boxes and Bubble have recently become one of our go-to providers for quality moving boxes and accessories. Their range includes everything from sturdy storage boxes to bubble wrap, packing paper, wardrobe boxes and tape — all essential items that we either use ourselves during removals or resell to our clients.
The team at Boxes and Bubble are knowledgeable, professional, and extremely helpful — not to mention competitively priced. We loaded up our van with enough stock to last us the next six months, and thanks to the convenient location and easy parking, the entire process was quick and efficient. Best of all, we didn’t have to make a separate trip or pay additional delivery fees. We simply made use of the same vehicle we had brought for the removal, maximising space on the return journey to Preston.
This kind of smart logistical planning is something we strive for in our day-to-day operations. It saves money, reduces carbon footprint, and keeps our service running at peak efficiency. For clients, it means we always have fresh, high-quality materials on hand for packing and removals. For our business, it means fewer disruptions, fewer last-minute supply runs, and more value gained from every long-distance job we take on.
As we unloaded back at our Preston base, it was satisfying to see our storage shelves fully restocked, ready for the months ahead. A successful removal for a happy client in London, and a cost-effective supply run all wrapped into one — exactly the kind of outcome we aim for on every job.
If you’re planning a move and want to know that your removals company is thinking ahead, prepared, and resourceful, we’d be happy to help. And when it comes to supplies, we can confidently recommend our trusted partners in London — their products really do make a difference.
