Whether you are moving home or business, it’s important that you choose a removals company that you can trust. We have written many advice articles about how to find the right removals company, but what difference to memberships make to your move?
When a company has gone the extra mile to attain membership to an organisation, it means that they are willing to put some work in to meet their standards. It also means that they will have coverage that they would not have otherwise.
What is the RHA?
The Road Haulage Association (RHA) is a member-led trade association, with 8,500 members across the country. It supports businesses in the road transport industry by giving them a voice to government, policy makers and local authorities, while also giving them access to technical and professional services so that they can comply with industry regulations. They also offer training so that teams can make the most of their skills.
