Woods moves in Dorchester

Jun 27 | 2013

Woods Removals have relocated to new premises within The Grove Trading Estate, Dorchester, as part of its planned expansion programme.

The premises has a purpose built office and ample storage capacity for over 100 storage containers. The site is well situated giving ample space for the parking of its modern fleet.

 

Woods Removals was acquired by a family owned company Camp Hopson Removals Ltd. of Newbury in December 2008. Both Woods Removals and Camp Hopson Removals have the same focus on quality service at affordable prices.

 

Brian Allen, Managing Director of Camp Hopson Removals said that the acquisition of Woods Removals was “Part of our strategy. Our removal business has grown from strength to strength and we needed to expand our business. Woods Removals was an ideal company to acquire given its excellent reputation and customer-focussed service. This now enables us to establish a link from Dorset and the West Country through Berkshire into London which is an area we serve frequently.”

 

Camp Hopson Removals Ltd has retained the Woods name as an alternative trading name. The two businesses have been established for over a 100 years. Both companies are members of the BAR and have achieved the BSEN quality standard in Removals and Storage. 

 

“We are thinking beyond the current depressed state of the housing market and have bought a removals and storage business that will enable us to progress in the future,” said Brian.

 

Camp Hopson Removals Ltd is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Camp Hopson group of companies. Apart from the removals and storage subsidiary company, the Camp Hopson Group also includes a department store, furniture centre and funeral business, all of which are based in Newbury, Berkshire.
