Business relocation specialist, Harrow Green, showed it had the right formula after completing a multi-site move at the University of Liverpool’s School of Veterinary Science (ULSVS).

Harrow Green’s Manchester office was chosen to relocate teaching materials, desktop items and operating & laboratory equipment to Fern Grove Veterinary Surgery - the University’s ‘first opinion’ veterinary practice, and six other locations within Liverpool and the Wirral including the veterinary library.

 

Harrow Green, which has carried out a number of relocation projects in the past for the University including the Sidney Jones library, won competitive tender after providing the most efficient relocation programme.

 

John Lord, Harrow Green’s Regional Manager for the north-west, said, “We are very pleased to have this opportunity to work with the veterinary school. Harrow Green has become widely recognised for its expertise in the higher-education sector, and to have won this contract against intense competition is very rewarding.”

 

Harrow Green has also completed a phased-move of Bishop Grosseteste University library, bringing its total business in that sector to over £500,000 in the last 12 months. The university’s Library Services Department in Lincoln brought in Harrow Green for the four-phase move, which included moving 289 metres of books plus shelving and furniture for the children’s library; and dismantling and reassembling over 4,000 metres of shelving and packing, storing and transferring 133,000 volumes of books whilst it refurbished and extended its main library facility from 1,000 to 2,000 square feet. The project was carried out over several months.

 

Emma Sansby, head of library services at Bishop Grosseteste University said, “We relied on Harrow Green’s experience and expertise during a critical phase of our library extension and refurbishment; almost every book and shelving unit in the building had to be moved, some more than once. The team worked quickly and efficiently and were always responsive to our needs and priorities. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.”
