Hi Fraser, We are using a company called Stirling Corporate Relocation. We only had 2 quotes and the other one was from Team Relocations and after seeing them on here we told our relocation agents not to use them! How are things going with you?

We also informed PSS that Crown were offering us 6 weeks free storage in the UK and they came back and never offered any free storage!
Overall I was unimpressed - just shows you how different two areas can be. Have heard good things about them though.
Best of luck with the big move,
Lynn
