Robinsons Relocation is a removal and storage company with its headquarters located in Abingdon, Oxfordshire.[1] Robinsons is one of the oldest functioning moving and storage specialist companies in the United Kingdom, dating back to the 19th Century.[2] The company has further facilities in London, Manchester, Southampton, Basingstoke, Bristol, and Birmingham allowing them to cover the whole of the United Kingdom.[3][4][5]
Robinsons Relocation was founded in Manchester in 1895 by Alfred Robinson and was the recipient of the European EMMA International Moving Company of the Year award in 2010 and 2011 and has accreditation for quality systems under ISO 9000:2008, ISO14001:2004 and the industry standard FAIM Plus.[6][7]
History
[edit]Since its emergence in the 19th century, the company has remained under the control of the Robinson family.[citation needed] Alfred's four sons went on to become working directors of the business and up to the present day the fourth generation of the Robinson family have been influential to the company's growth with Alfred's great-grandson Anthony now taking up the role of managing director.[citation needed] Philippa Robinson, sister to Anthony, manages the Corporate and International business as Chief Operating Officer.[citation needed]
By 1911, the company had become the first removal company within the United Kingdom to provide road service from North to South after the opening of their London branch, which was shortly followed by the unveiling of their Birmingham warehouse in 1928.[8]
After the war,[which?] the company opened a warehouse in Bristol in 1948 and introduced computerised moving and migration services in the late 60's.[citation needed] Due to the encouragement from the British government for Britons to emigrate to Australia as part of the Commonwealth, Robinson's took advantage of the high demand for further migration services in the relocation industry.[9]
