What does membership mean to our customers?

Every BAR Member works to the BAR Code of Practice which is approved by the Office of Fair Trading (OFT). This stringent code protects and promotes consumer interests beyond the basic requirements of the law.

Professionalism

Reassurance:

All BAR Members must comply with on-going site inspections during their membership ensuring standards are maintained. BAR Members must also provide evidence of consumer satisfaction through on-going monitoring, so by choosing a BAR member you will ensure that your move goes as smoothly as possible.

Pickfords' Advanced Payment Guarantee

Pickfords has its own advanced payment guarantee to protect pre-payments made by our customer prior to their move. This means that your move and the moneys paid are protected in the unlikely event that the company ceases to trade. All members of the British Association of Removers offer an Advanced Payment Guarantee to give their customers' complete peace of mind when they book their international removal.
