We started as a part time service, borrowing a friends’ van as and when we needed it, but our reputation quickly spread and we now operate across three counties Berkshire, Surrey and Hampshire.
My name is Laurence, I’m the Company Director. I’m involved in every aspect of the business from how the office runs through to being onsite with our teams assisting in clearances. I’m the very definition of hands on and regularly work alongside our Clearance Teams during bookings.
Before starting the company, I was a Director of an award-winning tech company. Prior to that I composed music for film and television. Both roles involved sitting in front of a computer for most of the time which is why I decided to find something different to do that would be challenging, interesting, varied, physical and in-touch with real people.
From personal experience, I understand that emptying the house of a loved one can be an emotional and stressful time.
All our work is carried out to the highest standard and with the utmost respect. It is for this reason, we don’t subcontract any of our house clearance work to anyone else and why you will often see me working alongside the team during your clearance.
Then we have Kim, my Mother-in-Law, who after a successful career as a Software Sales Director was planning on early retirement until my partner Jaime and I welcomed our first son and needed some additional hands on deck. Seven years on and another son later, Kim is still with us and we couldn’t be without her.
My partner has also now rejoined the team and whilst she has loved supporting our children in the early years, she’s thrilled to be back.
Prior to our children, we ran our previous business together and then went on to have a career in Marketing for Microsoft. My partner is coming back on board to support us with our marketing efforts and helping us grow and better manage our business now we have transitioned from Berkshire & Surrey House Clearances to Bluebird Clearance Co. She is also continuing to look at ways to help us build upon our green credentials by developing increased recycling, reuse and reselling opportunities with charities and online platforms. By focusing in these areas, we hope that we can provide a more streamlined customer experience, have the ability to purchase more stock for our customers to further reduce our environmental footprint and add more value.
Then finally and most importantly, I work with five other great guys who are responsible on the day of our customers clearances to complete your clearance work. They are strong, hard-working, friendly and respectful so you are sure to have a wonderful experience.
Every clearance in unique and so to provide you with an accurate Estimate we need to know a bit about the work that’s required – such as property size, contents to be removed, parking and access, location, and timeframes.
