Espaneura SL is a British owned long established removal company registered to trade legally in Spain. To mark 10 years of success and to give a clearer
understanding of the company’s focus they are setting up a division to be know as Removal Solutions.
Operating from Catral for the past 10 years Les and Tina Parkinson have built up a highly reputable business moving people all over the globe. Having been in transport for most of his life Les saw an opening to be based in Spain working with and for British and Irish customers.
“Things have changed a lot since we have been here” said Les “A lot of families who
we moved here 6 or 7 years ago are now moving back to UK or other destinations. It
is good to know that they were so happy with our services they used us again. We
are also moving people around Spain and working with Spanish.”
Over the last 10 years Espaneura has had some memorable moves including being featured on television on ITV’s Moving Day. Les explaining to a naïve presenter with
the aid of a large map that a truck takes more than a day to travel from the UK to
Spain was a unforgettable moment. Some suggested that Les should have his own
show.
Other high profile jobs have included shipping in the Porsche Carrera of the of
Arsenal goalkeeper from Albacete to London, delivering props from Valencia to The
Royal Opera House in Covent Garden and taking garden furniture from Italy to the
neighbours of the Beckham’s holiday home in the Algarve.
But you don’t need to be a celebrity to be a customer of Espaneura. “All our clients are important to us and give aim to give everyone the high level of service that they deserve.” said Tina. “We have set up Removals Solutions to enable us to offer a
complete relocation service at the best price. We have moved to a more secure warehouses with better facilities and offices. We can offer a more personal service as well a range of options because we have access to vehicles and container services worldwide. Being members of the British Association of Removers also assures our customer of best professional standards.
We have only Spanish registered vans and comply with Spanish regulations to give
full legality to any work done. Our warehouse is fully alarmed and insured and help
is always available. We aim to send our Estimator to see every customer or job so we can offer the best deal and highest level of service. Storage facilities are offered as part of any deal and packing materials and fully trained packing staff on hand if
necessary. And a sense of humour comes as standard”
