The BAR conference will this year be attended by no less than four representatives from Pluscrates. A couple of familiar faces, Nick Flaxman (Sales Director) and Stuart McLean (Scotland depot manager) who are regulars at the conferences, and a couple of new faces; Stuart Stansfield (National Operations Manager) and Ian Gilkes (Birmingham depot manager). So, if you are planning to attend and want to know more about Pluscrates and crate hire, do feel free to come up and say hello.
2017 marks the fifth year that Pluscrates are sponsoring the Commercial Mover of the Year award; this prestigious award “provides a measure and a test of quality which is highly prized within the commercial relocation industry.” And previous winners have found that this mark of excellence has positively affected their business in ways that they hadn’t imagined.
As always, this year’s finalists display a very high level of standards, and with several of the past winners receiving a certificate of merit, it has proven to be a very close competition.
