Bournes Relocation Solutions walked away as winner of the International Moving Company of the Year category recognising its achievements in building on 140 years of experience to create a company that maintains the traditional values and personal service of a family run company, combined with training and development of highly skilled teams and innovation and technology driven by insight of a rapidly changing customer marketplace in its mission to become the ‘trusted relocation expert of choice’.
Wesley Bourne, Managing Director of the Bournes Companies said of the award: “It is testament to every individual working for Bournes that we are able to achieve such an accolade as International Moving Company of the Year. An excellent customer experience at all stages of a Relocation from needs assessment and planning to delivering the services and beyond all play an important part in achieving a smooth relocation and a satisfied customer. Without every member of our team doing their part to ensure their customer has a positive experience we would not be able to achieve and maintain the reputation we’ve all worked so hard to build and this award really does belong to the whole team.”
