Harrogate Removals

Harrogate sits on the edge of the North Yorkshire Dales and, in 2013, it was voted the happiest place to live in the UK. Over the last century, Harrogate has developed from a genteel spa town to a thriving cosmopolitan hub with great access to the cities of York and Leeds. However, it still retains the historical architecture and beautiful green spaces that make it so special.

Just 45 minutes from Harrogate is Britannia Olivers. They have been carrying out removals for over 100 years and are one of the founding members of the Britannia group. Located in York, Britannia Olivers is able to help with removals and storage throughout North Yorkshire and the surrounding counties.
