Never has such an old adage rung so true as when you find yourself in the midst of moving home. Whether it be across the street, to the other side of town or to another country, the choice of who shifts your home is (or at least, should be) one of the most critical decisions you can make.
Unfortunately, the Moving Services business and what it truly offers is oft one of the World’s best kept secrets and the importance of making the right choice in is only realized when it is too late. The cost of a failed international relocation is reckoned to be US$400,000 and most failures are the result of “familial dissatisfaction” resulting from a poorly executed move.
Allied Pickfords in the UAE – a part of SIRVA Inc., NYSE-listed (SIR) - is a leading provider of Moving Services. We specialize in our core activity of packing and shipping the homes of families, door-to-door, around the world. This is what we do and we do not profess to be anything more than a fine and respectable mover with a difference. That difference is that we really do CARE.
Our Company operates in more than 40 countries with more than 5,000 employees and an extensive network of agents and other service providers in a further 135 countries. We provide the only truly global “one stop shop” where the guys that serve you at both ends of the move all work for the same organisation; this is a powerful advantage which ensures accountability and prevents abdication of responsibilities.
With the scale of our company, we have the resources to get the job done. We also have the experience that you would expect from a company with a heritage stretching back over four centuries. Quality has not been allowed to suffer as Allied Pickfords has grown over the years and in the UAE over the past 20 years, we are proud to achieve constantly high satisfaction scores from our clients. We are placed 3rd in our Global Quality Rankings and operate within the stringent procedures set-out within ISO 9001:2000 to which we are accredited.
There is a difference. Size does matter. Experience does count. There is an awful lot more to moving home than loading some boxes onto the back of a truck and when the true costs of a failed assignment are considered, it pays to invest a few more Dirhams in buying the level of service your home and family deserves.
