Britannia Beckwith, one of Brighton’s oldest local removal companies has recently celebrated its move to Europa House, New Road, Newhaven.

The new premises offer Beckwith superb office facilities together with container warehousing which allows for the development of self storage facilities and archive storage for its customers.

Beckwiths has been in the Brighton area since 1927 and joined the Brittania Movers International Group in 1986, settling in Newhaven in 1988. Currently owned by local business owners, John and Claire Ballard and Barry Clark, the business will remain in the Ballard and Clark families with Simon Clark and Cameron Ballard taking on the responsibilities of the company when their fathers retire.

The families are excited about the move to Europa House and the company’s future in the moving industry both here and on the continent. The development of its international shipping and install systems, together with its European van service, has placed Beckwiths as one of the largest continental movers in the county.

John Ballard confirmed: “The larger warehouse in Newhaven gives us flexibility and the opportunity to develop the self storage market here in the UK with plenty of room for archive storage which is becoming increasingly popular with our customers.”
