More on Momentous Relocation : http://archive.is/RaWh1

Paul Evans has been in the international moving business most of his working life. In his youth, post working for Stockbrokers (Greenwell’s) in the city and Lloyds bank, he did a stint as a minicab driver/night controller and when customers started asking if he had a van, he thought he’d better buy one. His first moving company, P&M Removals, was run from a bedsitter and café in Fulham with his friend, Micky. Since then he’s done rather well. He founded Trans Euro (with Richard Levine) in 1973, selling it to Deutsche Bank Capital Partners 27 years later; then bought Interdean in 2005, revitalised it and sold it to EAC, the owners of Santa Fe in 2011. Paul seems to have a talent for creating success.

So his latest acquisition, coming after Paul completed a two-year restrictive covenant period, will be welcome news to the Momentous employees, Paul’s overseas agent friends, and those on his loyal customer contacts list. It will be less of a joy for some of London’s established corporate moving set who now have another, very strong, competitor to defend against.

Under the AGM umbrella group: Abels Moving http://archive.is/EkvCf

it was renamed Abels of Watton in 1971. Ten years later, his company was proud to help the newly-married Prince Charles and Princess Diana move into their new home at Highgrove, and in 1989 the company received the Royal Warrant.
