Great article Dean…another well known London company swallowed up by Pickfords back in the day.

Hi Mark,
What is left of Pickfords today? Have any of the companies the took over, like Hoults Bulens etc survived and are still trading in one form or another?
I heard Pickfords itself seems to be franchising or hiring self employed sub contractors a lot.

Hi Carl,
I’m not sure what the deal was when SAVA/ North American Van Lines sold Pickfords to the guy who Owned Transeuro in London. …It looks like those companies that Pickfords acquired May not have been part of the deal when sold last…there were a lot of companies they took over…Hoults…Bullens…Pitt & Scott…further back Griff Fender…Stringfellows…and many more smaller well known companies…what would these names be worth today now they are no longer in operation…they have wiped out a lot of good company names over the years Carl…I know a little about the Nationalisation years after the war but not a hudge amount.
Regards Mark
