Professional packers and movers Bangalore was established in 2002 at Bangalore aiming to provide comprehensive, professional and competitive packing and moving services to customers and corporate with local expertise and global practices and ensure our customers get a professional, customized experience at much more affordable prices than the larger established moving companies mainly centered around serving the high end customers and located close to CBD ares of large metropolis.  Until this time the packers and movers industry was either represented by transporters-turned-movers who had experience and expertise in transportation but ignorant about the packing moving industry and customer needs, or by International moving companies through their local India offices who mostly catered to expats and HNI customers.

​

In the last 20 years the company and its moving business steadily grew and has expanded into the corporate moving industry and becoming a key service provider to the Corporate, Govt institutions and Individuals.  Membership of the group by then comprised 50 businesses including one in Australia & two in South Africa with a large number of carefully selected agents operating throughout the world.

In 1994 expansion dictated that the group transfer its receiving depot to London where the recruitment of a specialist Shipping Manager led to considerable expansion and development of those services. During the later half of that decade Britannia was becoming highly successful, profits being returned to the membership by way of dividends on their shareholding and advantageous loans to expand their own services and training facilities.

A press review of the moving industry’s future published in 1986 drew an interesting comment from Pickfords who openly stated that “Britannia was the business to watch” and during the late 1990’s the trade grew to acknowledge that, in the UK, Britannia was the market leader and with visibly more vehicles in BMI livery on the road than any of its competitors.

With ever increasing demand for its services from private, corporate and international clients the Board decided, in 1997, to upgrade its registration from a Limited company to a PLC involving stricter financial disciplines through higher audit requirements.

During this period of rapid expansion Britannia opened discussions with like groups in Europe who were developing along similar lines and linked up with the major groups in Germany, Holland, France and Italy to form the European Moving Group (E.M.G.).

In 2001 Britannia relocated its head offices, for corporate, commercial and international services to larger new purpose built premises at Croydon.

Today, Britannia is an internationally recognised brand and still has the largest network of depots within the UK compared to its competitors.

The Britannia Group now travel weekly to all major European destinations, undertaking removals to and from the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe. They have dedicated specialist for the exportation and importation of domestic household belongings going to and from every corner of the globe.

Mark Tresler was appointed MD in 2011, moving up from his previous position as Finance Director, a role he held for 7 years previously. Mark’s commercial background and strategic thinking has allowed Britannia to move from strength to strength during his tenure. Key achievements have been further advances in the Shipping market, greater investment in Britannia Marketing and promotions and a highly successful Membership benefit program that includes a truck purchase scheme for Members. Perhaps the most ambitious step during Mark’s tenure has been the purchase and construction of a new flagship head office in Merstham near Redhill. The transferral of office equipment and staff was carefully managed over a period of weeks, culminating in an official opening date for Britannia’s new head office on Monday 21st November 2016.

There is now a dedicated team who manage Britannia’s Corporate relocation clients from the Britannia head office in Merstham. The team coordinate removals and storage for a diverse range of different clients from the banking, retail, telecoms, insurance and local government markets both within the UK and around their global network.

BMI is always looking for new members to join the group and are now providing trade services and support to other companies within the International and European removals industry.

BMI has maintained its excellent reputation over the years based on a twin strategy of growth and customer satisfaction and continues to strive to meet customers’ needs and expectations in the dynamic and ever changing world of domestic and international moving.
