End of another successful re-delivery period as school term begins

Posted on 13 September

I am not sure that all parents will be feeling the same, but the School Trunk team have felt the summer has flown by. A new school term begins. What feels like days ago, we were collecting red crates from schools all around the UK. Now, we have just completed our final school re-delivery and the warehouse is looking incredibly lacking in red crates.

It has been a busy one. Some of our regular schools increased their orders and we had some new schools to add into the schedule. We also had a new venture with moving school equipment, rather than students personal belongings, to assist with redecoration plans.

We will now spend the next few weeks analyzing how things went and looking how to make improvements. All our team leaders complete feedback from each delivery so that we can see how to make things better each time. We had a couple of new team leaders in action this holiday, who really stepped up. They did a great job on their ‘maiden voyage’.

New school year – multiple schools, not a problem

Posted on 28 August

Schools are about to start a fresh school year. School Trunk is going full steam ahead to get all the re-deliveries done ready for term to begin. There is a definite smell of fresh paint and a lovely clean feel to student accommodation our teams are arriving at. There has, apparently, been a lot of renovating and upgrading over the summer holidays.

Today, School Trunk have three teams in action.

One in Oxford at St Clare’s and two in London for Marymount International School and South Hampstead High School. One of the great things about School Trunk is that  there is a pool of talent to build teams to suit multiple jobs at one time. Work certainly has ebbs and flows with term starts and ends being our busiest periods. All Team Leaders are highly experienced and trained, with then Senior Porters and Porters to make up the teams.

The three re-deliveries today represent the variety we work with. Marymount and St Clare’s have a large focus towards International students. International is an area we work with a lot. Students from abroad simply can not take belongings all the way home so our service is perfect for them. We have also added an International shipment service so when a student has finished their studies, we can collect and ship all their belongings internationally.

South Hampstead High School is a more unusual one being a day school. We assisted them in moving furniture out of some classrooms, to another area of the school, so that they could thoroughly redecorate. Our tracking system and removal training meant that this could be performed smoothly and simply. Today, the team went back in and returned the classrooms to their original state.

The teams will continue to tackle multiple school this week, across the country.

We are hoping all our students and schools are enjoying their final days of holidays.
