Allied Pickfords Australia is a moving company in Australia. It maintains 40 branches across all states of Australia, and over 600 locations worldwide providing removal services across the entire country, and is a subsidiary of SIRVA.[1][2]
History
Allied Pickfords Australia was established in 1926 as family-owned moving company named Downard Transport. In 1982, British-based Pickfords, bought the company to form Downard Pickfords.[2][3][4][5]
In 1991, as part of a global rebranding exercise, Downard Pickfords became Allied Pickfords.[6] In 1996, Allied Pickfords was included in the sale of Pickfords by the National Freight Corporation to Allied Van Lines.[7] In 1999 Allied Van Lines was purchased by Clayton, Dubilier & Rice and merged with North American Van Lines to become SIRVA.[2][8]
Business
Allied Pickfords Australia has 400 year-round employees, with an additional 50-100 seasonal workers during the removals busy season, November to February.
