Project scope
Relocate Shropshire Council
Our key tasks
- 1,200 staff moved
- Temporary double moves of staff
- Sequential file packing and unpacking
- File audits and mapping
- Confidential files sequentially packed and sealed
When Shropshire Council replaced their two-tier local government structure, roughly 1,200 staff needed to move within buildings and between locations across the county. Some of these moves were temporary double moves and included sometimes conflicting and sensitive needs in terms of continuing service delivery.
Our project management working hand-in-hand with the client
We believe in working closely with our clients, so they have their needs met and if changes to the plan need to be made, they can be done quickly and with little disruption. We asked the council to create a move communications team, made up of a core project team and a group of move champions from each department. We provided a dedicated project manager and helpline to provide constant support throughout the move process.
Confidential security and minimal disruption
In addition to sequential file packing and unpacking, file audits and mapping, our packers also packed (sequentially) several thousand metres of confidential filing into filing crates. They were sealed with a one-way cable tie with a unique serial number.
Where possible, we moved storage cabinets fully intact to their new location mechanically, saving the time and disruption of unpacking and re-packing the cabinets.

Heather - University of Manchester,They went above and beyond
I just wanted to send a quick email to say a big thank you to Simon and his team for their efforts during the move over the last couple of weeks. I know it was not a particularly smooth process and they went above and beyond to ensure that they could complete the job and ensure that everyone was in the correct place, despite differing instructions.
If you could pass our thanks onto them it would be appreciated.
Kind regards Yvette

Email to Piers
Just wanted to drop a short note to express my thanks to you and the team for supporting our move yesterday.
Both of your colleagues were a credit to your organisation. Both performed their duties with absolute professionalism. From the first point of contact, through the packaging, removal and unpacking, they worked efficiently, methodically and effectively. They were able to pack and transfer a considerable amount of (in some cases) high value assets without a single incident. The right people in the right place at the right time. Thank you.
Kind regards
Andrew
