Robinsons pick up Re:locate Awards gong

Monday, May 10th, 2010

The Re:locate Awards winners for 2010 have been announced and it’s great news for Robinsons International Removals who picked up the much-coveted ‘Best Relocation Service Provider or Team of the Year’ award.

In a swanky gala dinner held at the Institute of Directors in London, the relocation industry’s finest were out in force for the third annual Re:locate Awards to recognise individuals, teams, policy and innovation, with a choice of categories for HR and service providers.

The high-calibre shortlist reflected the wide range of organisations and individuals involved in relocation, from HR staff to specialist support providers of various kinds, including relocation management companies, consultants, removals experts, home-search specialists, serviced accommodation providers and a furniture rentals company; all of which contribute knowledge and expertise to the relocation process.

The judging panel, consisting of distinguished figures from business, academia and the CIPD, evaluated all nominees on the basis of five key points:  Innovation and Achievement, Teamwork and Customer Relations, Leadership, Effective Use of Resources, and Environmental Contribution to Business.

With a belief that they have a service offer to be truly proud of, Robinsons were able to put forward a winning proposal to land this prestigious prize in the only UK awards ceremony to celebrate achievement in this niche area of expertise.

The judges hailed Robinsons International Removals for a “first-class” entry statement, well supported by a range of excellent client testimonials, succinct examples of processes, and laudable transparency in passing savings on to clients. They loved its WOW (War on Waste) campaign and carbon footprint calculator, and its forward-looking approach, internally and externally.

Stepping up to receive the award on behalf of Robinsons were Sales Director Rhonda Olsen and Relocations Manager Alistair Murray.

Rhonda said: “To have won such a prestigious award is absolutely fantastic and I dedicate it to the entire company who all contribute to ensure we deliver the very best service to our customers.

The summer issue of Re:locate, to be published in June, will feature full details of all the winners including individual case studies.



Robinsons wins photography award at PR’s ‘Oscars’

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

Removals specialists Robinsons has won a PR industry award for its use of photography to promote a new environmentally-friendly service it launched in 2009.

The company, which has branches throughout the UK, wanted to raise the issue of the amount of unnecessary waste that was generated during an office move and used eye catching photography of the managing director, Anthony Robinson, to secure media coverage.

Working closely with their PR agency, Prova, Robinsons secured a silver award at the Chartered Institute of PR (CIPR) Awards, which were held in Birmingham on Friday 20th November.

Managing director of Robinsons, Anthony Robinson, said: “We put a lot of effort into coming up with a different style of picture that really told a story. The photography worked well and has gained us a lot of positive publicity, which has enabled us to raise the important issue of waste furniture and how companies can reduce the amount of unwanted desks, chairs and equipment that are going to landfill sites.”
