Moving Christmas Wishes

Moving Christmas Wishes and A Happy New Year

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all the team at Colin Batt Removals. Whilst we pride ourselves on being great removers the ultimate removal man has to be Father Christmas. He can deliver to every child in the land in one night…phew – just think of all those stairs and chimney pots! Whilst Father Christmas will be busy moving heaven and earth to get all the pressies to the kids, we will take a well earned break, the office will be shut from 24th December but we’ll be back to look move your house or piano from 5th January 2015. That said the phone will be periodically monitored for any emergency calls, just in case Santa needs a hand moving your new piano upstairs!

2014 was a great year and that is thanks to all the hard work the whole team put in. A big thank you to all our Porters who move your furniture, the office staff who arrange your removal and the management team who look after the rest of the staff. To celebrate we all had a Christmas party in Canterbury, Kent and had a traditional Indian curry! The vindaloo was too hot for everyone even in the depths of December.

Best wishes to all for the New Year and we look forward to helping all of our existing and new customers from Kent, Surrey and beyond with any and all of your house removals needs. Remember to call us if you need to move house, want some items stored after all the Xmas gifts you received, or have a piano you want delivering. Don’t forget we can help with document archives if you are doing a bit of office spring cleaning too.

All the best to you and yours and have a fantastic, fruitful and fun 2015.

Our MND Ice Bucket Challenge!

21 October 2014 Colin Batt Removals Comment

Colin Batt Removals Ice Bucket Challenge

Along with the rest of the UK and maybe the world, many of us here at Colin Batt Removals have been getting involved in the Ice Bucket Challenge to raise money for MND – check out our video here!

Thanks to the members of the removals team who took part and withstood the freezing challenge. All parts of the business took part, removal porters, estimators, office staff and even the managers! We appreciate their support and help with this very worthy charity.

The Motor Neurone Disease Association has challenged us all to throw a bucket of iced water over ourselves in order to raise money to combat a debilitating disease. The campaign has gone viral with each participant earning the honour to challenge three more people who have to complete the challenge within 24 hours. You can turn down the challenge by donating to the charity or just be generous and do both!

The campaign has been a huge success, having raised millions of pounds to help find a cure for this debilitating disease. MND is a progressive disease that attacks the nerves in the brain, motor neurones, causing muscle wasting. This effects everything from grip to breathing, standing to speaking.

Presently there is no cure which is why the funds raised by the MNDA are so important. There research is helping to deliver a better understanding of the disease and we hope will eventually provide a cure.

Leading Removal Company in Kent – Wealdon Advertiser Property South East

Like Father,Like Son – Fast Movers

If you don’t live in the Tenterden, the Woodchurch or the Cranbrook areas you will not be lucky enough to have received a copy of the Wealdon Advertiser Property South East. This means you will have missed a great article last week on a fantastic removal company – Us! Colin Batt Removals were very pleased to be interviewed for the lead article on page 2 and hope it once again shows that we are the leading removal company in Kent. Check out the link below.

We have been moving people from the Weald of Kent from the very beginning, as the business was first established in Bethersden in 1978. Since then we have moved to Challock but continue to serve all our loyal customers in Smarden, Woodchurch and Cranbrook. Be that piano removals for the Period Piano Company, Biddenden or storage for Tenterden Golf Club. Since the start Colin worked hard to build and nurture the company’s reputation. Simon, his son, now has the honour of running the firm and the responsibility of building on the great reputation his father developed. Simon has rejoined Colin Batt Removals after flying in the RAF. His military service has seen him operate Jaguars, instruct on Hawks and most recently he has been flying Typhoons (Eurofighter). Follow the link to find out more.

We look forward to continuing our association with the Wealdon Advertisor and so look out for future articles and top tips on moving. In the meantime if you have any questions or queries about moving house give us a call and we’ll do all we can to help.

Debbie and Kristie have worked together for the last month and now Debbie is taking over the reins. She is ready and waiting to organise any of your moving needs….. just give her a call.
