BAR (The British association of removers)
For more than a century the British Association of Removers (BAR) has been promoting professional excellence in the Removals Industry.
Promoting Excellence
Moved 4u in Warrington have been proud members of BAR since March 2014. BAR is the recognised voice of the professional moving industry. It is at the forefront of developing and maintaining professional standards and services for the benefit of its members and their customers.
BAR is the first UK Trade Association to have Assured Advice, under the Primary Authority regulations and a Trading Standards Institute Code of Practice and an independent Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) scheme, ahead of legislation.
If you are moving in the UK, overseas, in Europe or if you are relocating your offices search for a BAR Member, and ‘Look for the badge’
BAR Code of Practice
The British Association of Removers Code of Practice is the only code in the moving industry that’s approved and monitored by the Chartered Trading Standards Institute.
All BAR Members must abide by the Code that dictates:
- the standards of service you will receive
- the quality of the materials used
- the standards of vehicles and warehouses
- staff training requirements
- what will happen if something goes wrong
FHIO
Complaints or Disputes
Complaints made against a BAR Member are handled exclusively by The Furniture & Home Improvement Ombudsman (FHIO), a qualified, independent and approved Consumer ADR body under the Alternative Dispute Resolution for Consumer Disputes (Competent Authorities and Information) Regulations 2015.
