Eliminate the risk factors when moving a collection
The complex, sensitive nature of collection moves is increased with risk factors such as untrained personnel, incomplete or inaccurate records, insufficient security measures, or restricted finances.
Building on our 30 years of experience, our meticulous service uses our proven methodology to eliminate these risks when relocating even the most delicate objects.
Our specialist team is highly experienced in processing rare, precious and secure items. We’ll support you in implementing or preparing for transition to automated systems, such as ASRS. And once the move is complete, we’ll help you ensure any new policies and processes are implemented and adhered to, including training and awareness for staff.
Using MovePlan means you benefit from a carefully planned move with end-to-end quality control.
