Britannia International is a co-operative of 43 international removers and storers. It was founded in 1981 by Roy Fox and John Court. The idea behind the principle was to provide an even playing field for independent family-sized removers to compete in the international marketplace with low overheads. The system has been a huge success globally where Britannia members work closely together.
If for example a customer wishes to move from Land’s End, England, to Sydney, Australia, then Britannia Lanes will pick up all of their possessions, put them in a cargo container (which is shared with other Britannia members to ensure space in the container is used efficiently) and ship the contents to Australia. At the other end, another Britannia member completes the move. It is fair to say that the system employed is not only unique, but also environmentally friendly. Vehicles run laden roughly 90% of the time.
