Bishops Move relocates the Salvation Army Heritage Centre over seven days.

Bishop’s Move has recently completed the business relocation of the Salvation Army Heritage Centre. The original location, based in London, involved the removal of five different departments simultaneously and required seven days to complete due to on-going building and construction work.

This high-profile move involved the careful handling of valuable items from the Heritage Centre such as antique uniforms, musical instruments, glass slides, photographs, maps, deeds, books and artworks to their new home in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire. The larger, remaining collection from the Heritage Centre was moved between two buildings within the campus.

Alongside this, other members of the Bishop’s Move team were undertaking the movement of the Salvation Army Library between two other buildings in the campus and to complicate matters further, two additional buildings of four floors apiece were also relocated to new premises, involving vehicles and operatives for each building.

The Bishop’s Move team who completed the move well within the allocated seven days.

David Mills-Pearce of Bishop’s Move said, “This relocation had the potential to be a logistical nightmare. However, our business relocation team has vast experience in these types of situations. Despite hurdles to overcome, the move was completed well within time and we wish the Salvation Army Heritage Centre the very best in its new premises.”

John Warner, Project Coordinator of the Salvation Army commented, "I would like to thank the Bishop’s Move team for their hard work. I recognise it was a mammoth undertaking for them and their efforts deserve the greatest recognition. I must also acknowledge the good management on the part of David Mills-Pearce who was quite exceptional. His calm leadership and oversight of the team was frankly second to none and he is a real credit to Bishop's Move. I have been very impressed with how hard Bishop's Move staff worked."
