Bradford Removals

It is a fantastic time to be living in Bradford, it has a flourishing business centre, a £260 million revamped shopping district, and a multi-award winning city park. Many people tend to compare Bradford to neighbouring Leeds and Sheffield, but the city stands on its own two feet and has only blossomed since its thriving Victorian period. It is one of the most multicultural centres outside of London and championed for its diverse populations and mix of cultures.

Just 35 minutes from Bradford is Britannia Willis of Skipton. They were established in 1929 by Leonard Willis and have continued through to the present day as a family run business. Located in Skipton, Britannia Willis are able to help with removals and storage throughout Yorkshire and the surrounding counties.
