Ballards get Flagship support for their Transport Compliance
Ballards have recently strengthened their business through the acquisition of a new Transport Manager. Peter Rushmer Director of Flagship Training and Business Consultants has joined the team as an outsourced specialist to oversee the compliance of the now large Ballards operation.
Ballards Removals are based at Markham Moor just off the A1 close to Newark and Retford and ideally placed for moves in Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and beyond.
Founded in 1978 by Richard and Janette Ballard, the company is still in the family today, continuing to build on their reputation as one of the UK’s most well-respected removals and logistics companies.
Initially focused on specialist domestic and commercial removals, Ballards now provide a comprehensive range of secure storage and logistics services, including removals, self storage, van hire and haulage.
Ballard’s have recently expanded into a more complex multi-site and multi-function operation through acquisition of Steele’s of Stamford and the recent opening of a self-storage facility in Lincoln.
