5 Ways We Can Make Your Home Move Easier

At Edward Baden, we know how time-consuming and stressful moving home can be, especially at Christmas. Our aim is to make your life easier and hassle-free – here are just five ways that we do this:

1. Dedicated Project Manager – you will be allocated a dedicated project manager for your house move so you will have just one point of contact for everything.
2. Seven Days a Week – as house completions can happen on any day of the week, we offer our moving services seven days a week. Want to move on a Sunday? Not a problem for Edward Baden.
3. Our own transportation – we operate our own moving vehicles so we’re not reliant on other companies, making the whole process a lot simpler for you.
4. Storage Solutions – do you need some of your items to go into short or long term storage during your move? We have links to a self-storage facility thanks to our sister company Cube Self Storage so we can organise this for you.
5. Packing Services – we offer a full packing service. Our highly trained team can pack all of your items for you and even unpack them again at the other end, helping to save you time.

If you would like to know more about these or any of our other services, please contact us.

Our Pledge to Make Christmas Wishes Come True

Last year at Edward Baden, we decided to give something back to the community by donating Christmas gifts to the children at Chestnut Tree House.  We also encouraged our customers to support us too and together we managed to buy everything on the Christmas Wish List for the charity. We received a wonderful thank you letter from some of the children that Chestnut Tree House so this year we’ve decided to make even more Christmas wishes come true for these delightful children.

For every contract taken out with us between 15^th November and 15^th December, we will be buying and donating a present to the children at Chestnut Tree House.

Chestnut Tree House offers a home-style environment for children with progressive life-limiting and life-threatening illnesses from all over the county. They offer an array of services including psychological support, respite care and bereavement therapy for families in need – all of which are free of charge.

We would like to make a difference to these children and their families this year and look forward to your contracts. If you would like to know more about our services, please contact us.

Lewes Bonfire Night 2012

We know the moving business and we know if one ever needs a reason to move to Sussex it’s our annual bonfire celebrations.

When it comes to November the 5^th, at Edward Baden we are firm believers that nowhere does it better than Sussex, with 3 months of Bonfire night celebrations culminating in the phenomenon that is Lewes Bonfire night.

It’s something that everyone should experience at least once so some of the team braved the cold and headed down for some week night entertainment and were certainly not disappointed!

Being held on a Monday there were reportedly half the number of people in attendance as last year’s Saturday celebrations and it was certainly noticeable. Far from being a negative however, the atmosphere created by the smaller crowds was much friendlier than previous years, and being able to move of one’s own accord was a definite bonus!

Lewes Bonfire Night

 

Once the procession ends there always remains the annual debate of whether to attend a bonfire or find a vantage point to see all the displays at once, but with the temperatures hovering just above freezing last night getting as close to a bonfire as possible seemed like the only sensible option. Not being affiliated with a society ourselves we were limited in options and chose to head along to the Commercial Square celebrations, and were certainly not disappointed by either the burning of effigies or the fireworks themselves.

All in all the night was thoroughly enjoyable and we can’t wait for the next one!

In the mean time if you decide to relocate to Sussex in time for next years celebrations speak to us so we can make your move go off without a bang!

The Uckfield Business Awards 2012

As sponsors of the event some of the Edward Baden team were fortunate enough to attend the Uckfield business awards last night, held at the East Sussex National Golf Course.

The Awards were launched this year to promote the achievements and diversity of the Uckfield Business Community and the surrounding area and did just that with speeches and comedy sketches throughout the night celebrating the best that Uckfield has to offer.

With 15 categories, every business in the town had the opportunity to be celebrated and notable winners included Pipe Dreams, winning the coveted retailer of the year award, and itmsoil for fastest growing business.

Although we weren’t nominated for an award this year we thoroughly enjoyed the night and will be working our socks off to make sure we have a place on the podium for 2013!

To ensure this happens we welcome all feedback and would love to know any thoughts you may have.

All in all the organisers did a tremendous job, the event was the huge success, and we look forward to the next one.
