    Episode 95: Moving Matters with Steve McGregor of McGregor Removals & Storage
    2025/05/22
    In this episode, Steve McGregor, Managing Director of McGregor Removals & Storage, discusses how he returned to the industry in 2013 to start his own business, even though as a third-generation remover he swore he would never be involved in Removals! McGregor Removals & Storage is based in Belfast, Northern Ireland and offer removals, storage, distribution and packing services, covering the whole of the UK and Ireland, focusing primarily on customer service, and in January 2025 have started an international shipping service. Fleet wise McGregor Removals & Storage operate a fleet of 9 vehicles and are not brand loyal in the slightest, and storage wise they have a 16,000 sqft warehouse. Apart from the everyday challenge of removals, Steve’s challenges have been staff and recruitment, switching off and detaching when away from the workplace, and accepting that you cannot change bad attitude. The one thing Steve would change from his moving past would have been to network earlier, which would have taken McGregor Removals & Storage further and faster. Steve has several high points of being within the industry, becoming a member of BAR (British Association of Removers), moving Dame Kelly Holmes, and the excitement from Steve’s children, nieces and nephews when they see the vehicles on the road as the vehicles are named after them. The one thing Steve would like to change within the industry is to have a more structured sales process. The advice Steve would give himself just starting out within the industry again is to network earlier and do more homework on the industry. In the next 5 years Steve wants to continue to grow the McGregor brand. Industry wise, Steve sees technology playing a big part. Outside of the industry Steve spends time with his two daughters, the challenge of running, working out at the gym, and has recently bought a boat. And as always, we end Moving Matters with a funny moving story, well two, one involving a tip and the other a sex toy. Enjoy!

  • Episode 94: Moving Matters with Jonathan Bramwell of Bramwell Relocation

    Episode 94: Moving Matters with Jonathan Bramwell of Bramwell Relocation
    2025/05/08
    In this episode, Jonathan Bramwell, Founder of Bramwell Relocation, discusses how he began in removals 42 years ago, assisting with the delivery of furniture for his mother’s antique furniture and restoration business, before buying his own van and delivering items from the local auction house. At that time Jonathan’s business was SBS (Sure to Be of Service), which grew not only from removals but also from storage and commercial contracts, including distribution. At its peak SBS was employing 70 people and turning over £5m a year! However, during the global economic crash of 2008/9 business started to get tough as contracts were cancelled, and eventually SBS was placed into administration and up for sale – and the buyer, none other than Clockwork Removals, where Jonathan was offered a role within Sales, and then promoted to National Sales Director, before eventually parting company. 8 months after leaving Clockwork, and at the tender age of 48 Jonathan was told (twice) that he could do it again, and so Bramwell Relocation was formed, and today is a true family affair consisting of Jonathan, Bev (wife), Lewis (son) & Sarah (daughter), primarily offering very high quality domestic removals & storage services, employing 10 and running a fleet of 3 x HGVs (2 of which are demount bodies), 4 x Luton vans, 2 x VW Transporters and 1 x VW Crafter. Storage wise they offer containerised storage, shipping container storage and a very small amount of self-storage. Jonathan’s biggest challenge ever has to be running a business for 26 years and letting it go. Any challenge since then Jonathan regards as ‘just stuff’ rather than a challenge. The one thing Jonathan would change from his moving past is to have concentrated more on removals, rather than diversify into providing different services. Jonathan has two high points of being within the industry, in 2000 Jonathan was appointed Chairman of the BAR Yorkshire Area, and more recently when Lewis & Sarah joined the business. The one thing Jonathan would like to change within the industry is the process in which people buy houses. The advice Jonathan would give himself just starting out within the industry again is to immediately deliver great service, constantly regulate yourself, don’t over trade (become a busy fool), and control your cash. In the next 5 years Jonathan hopes to be semi-retired. Industry wise, Jonathan sees an increase in the use of 3.5 tonne vans. Outside of the industry Jonathan has an obsession for cars and motorcycles. Jonathan enjoys skiing, vacations, gardening, and trips to the Isle of Man. And as always, we end Moving Matters with a funny moving story, regarding plums. Enjoy!

  • Episode 93: Moving Matters with Vince Burruano of Vince Burruano Consulting Services

    Episode 93: Moving Matters with Vince Burruano of Vince Burruano Consulting Services
    2024/12/12
    In this episode, Vince Burruano, President of Vince Burruano Consulting Services, discusses how he has had 2 stints of working within the industry, the first as Sales Leader within Office Movers (2.5 years), and the second as Vice President of Sales for Commercial Services for JK Moving Services (8 years). Today Vince is a consultant to the moving industry, helping business owners and leaders in making their companies become more successful, something Vince has been doing for the past 3 years. Vince has had many challenges within the industry, however, the two discussed are, finding the right talent, and the way Sales Professionals and others are treated once they are a member of the company. Vince wouldn’t want to change anything from his moving past because he is fearful making a change in one regard would alter everything else. Vince’s highpoint of being within the industry was his experience during Covid, where even when he had to reduce the size of his team, he still grew the business to be more successful. The one thing Vince would like to change within the industry is the mindset of individuals, especially company owners and leaders. The advice Vince would give himself just starting out within the industry again is to spend as much time as possible building the team, and more importantly the culture. In the next 5 years Vince hopes to continue to carve out a niche for himself within the industry. Industry wise, Vince hopes that the industry continues to evolve in a good way. Outside of the industry Vince is spending more time on photography and has a huge passion for reading books (physical not digital). And as always, we end Moving Matters with a funny moving story, in fact three, and are all related to Vince’s son. Enjoy!
