My daughter just used These from UK to Spain.
They do full or part loads, very friendly and spot on time.

hi,
We moved out to Provence last October and used Alan Franklin Transport Ltd. They are based in Dorset UK although we lived in Surrey. They have storage here in the Vaucluse and Paris.They were recommended to us by friends who use them to store and ship Antiques. We were very happy with them and they have just delivered all our belongings from storage. A good team, very efficient & friendly and good value. UK no 01202 826539

Thanks for your reply - I've seen their ads but great to get a recommendation. Weirdly enough we're moving to Provence from Dorset so they could be ideal!

Hi,
Well by all means mention me ( David Taylor) and Mike Chalon, who also used to live in Dorset. Where abouts are you going to settle here?

Not sure yet but I was born in Hyeres, spent most of my childhood in Mougins, came back to England as a teenager, so will aim for the Mougins area, Valbonne etc I think. My parents who were British have both died in the last 5 years so this a bit of a going home adventure for me - I'll be glad to leave the Piddle valley!
