Staffordshire County Council’s had records and archives moved into a purpose build site in Staffordshire by Britannia Goodwins, some records were over 100 years old.

Britannia Goodwins Removals of Staffordshire has recently carried out the moving of some 45 thousand file boxes and record books for Staffordshire County Council.

The records and archives, some items over 100 years old, were moved from old buildings in Stafford town centre to a purpose-built site in Staffordshire. Specially manufactured steps with a working platform were used by the Goodwins’ team to gain access to the five-metre high moveable racking that had been installed in the new facility.

The Goodwins team worked for four weeks on the project, smoothly and efficiently with everything being placed correctly and safely in its new position.  Project Manager, Catherine Lantsbery said, “We are pleased with the efficient and easy way in which Goodwins completed the move.  It was important that we maintained accuracy and security throughout the process and with Goodwins’ help we achieved a successful move with minimal disruption to our clients.”

Robert Goodwin and Darren Gilbert of Britannia Goodwins oversaw the move, however Robert said that once the removal team got into their stride they knew what to do and got on with the task in hand.
