One move we’ll never forget took place in southern Spain in a scorching 38 degrees sun. We were moving heavy granite worktops up several flights of stairs into a customer’s villa, a true test of endurance. In full safety gear, it felt even hotter, like working in an oven.

Thankfully, our trusty shoulder dolly lifting straps helped each load be that little bit more manageable (our favourite bit of kit). Despite the heat, teamwork kept spirits high, and seeing those granite tops perfectly in place made every drop of sweat worth it—a true summer workout!

I have had the pleasure of working with all kinds of clients, from locally based brands to some very familiar names, over the years.

One move that really stood out, though, has to be back in 2009 when I was part of the team that helped a very famous 70’s pop songwriter move into his new home. It was just one of those smooth, memorable days, filled with good humour, teamwork, and quiet pride. Everyone handled each piece with care, knowing we were moving more than furniture—we were helping transport a part of music history.

Over the years, I have gained much experience handling fine art and antiques, items that call for a lot patience, precision, and absolute care handling them. I’ve had the pleasure of working with various local antique dealers, including Jan Keyne, a regular on Dickinson’s Real Deal. Every item has a story to tell, and their safe journey is something I take immense pride in.

I’ve also covered deliveries at various prestigious venues such as Olympia and Battersea Park in London. Those moments, surrounded by history and craftsmanship, remind me why I love what I do—every move feels special to me.
