The British Association of Removers have recently held their most successful conference and exhibition in recent years on 17-19 May. This year's event was held in the beautiful town of Royal Windsor. Set in the heart of the Thames Valley, this picturesque and historical town is brimming with popular attractions, stunning countryside and unrivalled royal heritage.

 

A full range of high quality business sessions was enhanced by a fun social schedule, the event culminated with the Gala Dinner and Awards evening where the Commercial Mover of the Year, Specialised Movers and Domestic Mover of the Year, MJ Christophers & Son, were announced.

 

 

 

This year’s Vehicle Exhibition and Competition, sponsored by Volvo Trucks, was without doubt one of the highlights of the BAR Annual Conference 2012, with a stunning display of vehicles, and good weather to make the drive-by a pleasure for all.
 

 

 

The exhibition was like a tour of the industrial revolution from the perspective of the removals business, starting with a horse drawn tunnel van from White and co and a pair of pantechnicons (Fox and J&H Friend), followed by an amazing Foden steam van from Bishop’s Move and then a wonderful array of vans from the 1940s through to the present day.

 

Best Horse/Steam Drawn: J & H Friend

Best Mechanical – Vintage: Fox Moving & Storage

Best Mechanical Modern: Kilmarnock Removals

Best Bespoke/ Innovative: Britannia Reeves
