This is the first time Universal has won the CMOTY Award.  Sarah Cole, Managing Director of Universal commented “we are delighted to have won the prestigious Commercial Mover of the Year Award for 2015.  In a highly competitive industry, to win this accolade from the leading industry trade association the British Association of Removers is a great achievement. This award is testament to the commitment and professionalism of all the Universal team working and collaborating with our clients over the past twelve months.”

A workplace move is a critical point for an organisation and should be a seamless, cost effective and transformative project for the business and its personnel enhancing productivity and workforce experience.  However, Universal is acutely aware of the many business risks posed if a relocation project is not effectively and efficiently delivered.   The threats are not only operational and financial, but also pose potential risks to reputation, compliance and stakeholder satisfaction.   Universal takes a tailored and people centric approach in guiding and supporting clients through the project enabling the client staff to be informed, engaged, and positive about the beneficial transformation of an organisation through a value-added relocation.
