• The British Association of Removers with 800 professional removal companies as members, has become a shareholder in the road hauliers purchasing co-operative, Road Operators Associated Delivery Services (ROADS).
"Our aim is to help our members trade more costeffectively by giving them the advantages of quantity discounts," says Martin Rose, the BAR's commercial manager.
The BAR hopes to benefit from ROADS' credit-card system, which provides fuel bunkering facilities throughout the UK in collaboration with Shell UK Oil. Another credit-card bonus is a tyre-breakdown service through Tyreservices Great Britain.
The BAR sees the ROADS scheme as a logical support for its wholly owned subsidiary BAR Services, which provides removers with anything from modular cartons to piano dollies. This operation alone should have a turnover of nearly two million pounds this year.
