Airports Company SA - "We definitely picked a winning team to move us to our new home at King Shaka International Airport."
Dear Jean, Neeshall, Ravi and the amazing Pickfords Strongmen,

Thank you for an incredibly efficient “move” over the last couple of days. We definitely picked a winning team to move us to our new home at King Shaka International Airport and your efficient assistance took the stress out of the most daunting task we have ever faced. We would not have coped without you, and the team on site were patient, helpful and most of all smiling throughout what can only be described as the one task nobody volunteers for.

With your help we have “arrived” and hopefully will be fully operational by Monday afternoon. A “P”erfectly, “P”acked, “P”erformance with “P”ickfords!
Focus Management Project - "Pickfords carried out their duties in a highly professional, organised and efficient manner; meeting every deliverable on time, on budget and damage free."
As project managers of the King Shaka Airport Transfer Project, we confirm that we selected Pickford to relocate the overall majority of the furniture, fixtures, documentation and equipment from the old Durban International Airport to the new King Shaka International Airport, approximately 57km in distance.

Pickfords was responsible for the relocation of 14 ACSA Departments and the majority of the airport stakeholder companies, with an overall estimated total volume of over 100 thousand cubic feet of inventory. This was carried out over a 1 month period preceding the opening of the airport on the 1st May 2010. The Airports Company of South Africa imposed an extremely high risk profile on the project from a time, cost, potential damage to equipment and ultimately a reputation perspective.

Pickfords carried out their duties in a highly professional, organised and efficient manner; meeting every deliverable on time, on budget and damage free. Focus Project Management can confirm the project was an overall success and is proud to have partnered with Pickfords in such a momentous project. c Yours faithfully

Dear Ms Hendriks

Firstly, i would like to thank you for the professional way in which you assisted us during our move from Bloemfontein in Pretoria. From the time we have requested a quotation, up to where you have arranged for the unpacked boxes to be collected, Pickfords delivered an excellent service. Ms Hendriks, you and all the other role players involved ensured that we had total peace of mind during our move.

I would like to confirm herewith that we experienced no damages to our possessions during the move and therefore no insurance claim will have to be processed.

Kind regards,

Selldirect Marketing - "We had high expectations of the move and Pickford’s exceeded those expectations."
Dear Mr Swanepoel,

It gives me great pleasure to be forwarding this mail to you as I am a firm believer in reverting with feedback whether good or bad. We recently had the privilege of working with the Pickford’s crew as they moved us from our premises in Claremont to Observatory.

We had 4 companies who came to quote for this particular job and I am extremely happy and satisfied to have gone with Pickford’s. When Berenice came to see me she was extremely confident and efficient in her presentation, she could answer all the questions I asked of her and she could sharpen her pencil when asked to do so. We had high expectations of the move and Pickford’s exceeded those expectations. Initially we were told 7 days, then it was 4 days, they manged to move us in 3 days.

The crew which included Adonis, Mr Visser and Tony were just on the ball and it was great to be able to work with them. Lastly but certainly not least, Afzal Shahali needs to be given a special mention as he made this happen. Afzal is an experienced hand and he managed to get the crew to move us in no time. I really enjoyed working with him as he would often sit with me. Afzal is originally from Durban and I spent quite a bit of time in Durban in my student days so it was great catching up with him. I have no hesitation in recommending Pickford’s as I would definitely use them if need be.

Thank you very much for taking the stress away and making this happen. We are so pleased and happy in our new premises.

Regards, as always.
