Project scope
Relocate Shropshire Council
Our key tasks
- 1,200 staff moved
- Temporary double moves of staff
- Sequential file packing and unpacking
- File audits and mapping
- Confidential files sequentially packed and sealed
When Shropshire Council replaced their two-tier local government structure, roughly 1,200 staff needed to move within buildings and between locations across the county. Some of these moves were temporary double moves and included sometimes conflicting and sensitive needs in terms of continuing service delivery.
Our project management working hand-in-hand with the client
We believe in working closely with our clients, so they have their needs met and if changes to the plan need to be made, they can be done quickly and with little disruption. We asked the council to create a move communications team, made up of a core project team and a group of move champions from each department. We provided a dedicated project manager and helpline to provide constant support throughout the move process.
Confidential security and minimal disruption
In addition to sequential file packing and unpacking, file audits and mapping, our packers also packed (sequentially) several thousand metres of confidential filing into filing crates. They were sealed with a one-way cable tie with a unique serial number.
Where possible, we moved storage cabinets fully intact to their new location mechanically, saving the time and disruption of unpacking and re-packing the cabinets.

Email to Piers
It has been an interesting nine days! so much to sort out and Monday 2nd I think we all wanted to run as it seemed a daunting task!!
But the lads were excellent and just stuck at it with their usual good humour despite the horrible weather and torrential rain this week. So special thanks to Simon, Pete, Richard and the three lads.
Many thanks

Can we send our thanks to Greg and his team for their help and hard work across the 5 days they were with us. Their flexibility made a very stressful situation a whole lot easier. They were happy to follow our guidance and change the plan when needed to get the job done. The group of lads were a breath of fresh air and got the job done professionally.
Thanks again
Chloe, Lisburne School moveAltogether a very professional service
Email to Martin
BCL Moving provided a great service to us when we moved offices, as a small charity we don’t have a lot of slack or free time to pack, so their additional packing service was invaluable. The team worked hard and got everything moved well within the timescales given. And it was really reassuring to see clear insurance on their quote – altogether a very professional service.”
Best regards
Helen, BCOPStars the pair of them
Can I just say how fantastic George and Steve have been sorting out the moves etc from the main building and the removal of the furniture off site.
Lot of stuff to shift, no lift and dealing with the demands of staff as well in hot weather – stars the pair of them!!!!
