home appliances. Our team manages the entire service, from supply

apart from others is the extra level of customer care. Not only do
we deliver large items, but we unpack, assemble and install them,
and take away old items where needed. With a focus on safety,
productivity and innovation, we're changing the way customers buy
and receive large goods for the better.We have ambitious plans to
expand our specialist fulfilment centres and delivery stations
