Statistics are usually inaccurate, (to
say the least) and in 2007 the Government figures for immigration
were mocked for being vastly underestimated. The usual political
mudslinging ensued, but nobody thought to mention the thousands
of UK workers that are sent overseas by their employers,
or the thousands that take their skills abroad for better
pay.
This is not a new phenomenon, by any standard,
but it has become easier for employers and employees alike
to move entire operations overseas, (such as call centres)
or expand into other countries.
Communication with family and friends
has never been easier. With blogs, fora, email, Myspace
and MSN adding to the tradition telephone and mail, there
is no reason, (except in extreme circumstances) for people
to lose touch with their loved ones. But what happens to
their loved "things"?
Moving halfway around the world, for six
months to two years becomes less appealing with the thought
of having to sell or give away all or some of your hard
earned worldly goods. It's hardly practical to take all
of your favourite furniture, ornaments and untold boxes
of accumulated bits 'n' pieces with you.
The only option is storage. You can either
store your goods with family or friends, or put them into
a storage facility. If going into a storage facility, by
far the best option is to use a removals and storage company,
rather than one of the many self-storage companies.
Removals companies generally have their
own storage facilities and, because they make most of their
money from household and commercial removals, their storage
prices are generally cheaper than the national storage businesses.
Most removal companies also offer
self-storage, so you don't necessarily have to pay them
to move your belongings if you have another option. If you're
on a tight schedule though, what could be better than having
the removals men pack all the boxes and move them for you,
(especially if your employer is paying)?
