Turnbull's was established in Leeds in 1867, marking the beginning of a journey that has spanned more than 150 years. Built on professionalism, reliability and customer care, the company has proudly helped generations of families and businesses relocate across Leeds and beyond.
The oldest item discovered in our archives is an original 1931 Turnbull's advertising flyer. Just as we do today, these flyers promoted our removals services to people planning their next move, providing a fascinating glimpse into the company's early history.
The first Turnbull's office was located on Roundhay Road, Leeds, where the company began serving customers over 150 years ago. This historic premises marks the beginning of the Turnbull's story and our long-standing connection with the city of Leeds.
As the business expanded, Turnbull's moved to its premises on Education Road, providing a larger base to support our growing team and fleet. More than 150 years later, Education Road remains the home of Britannia Turnbulls, continuing our proud tradition of serving Leeds and the surrounding areas.
As customer demand increased, Turnbull's continued investing in new removal vehicles and equipment. Our distinctive green fleet became a familiar sight across Leeds, reflecting the company's commitment to providing reliable, professional moving services.
Our archives include a Yorkshire Evening Post article from 1986, celebrating former Managing Director and ex-Leeds Mayor Lawrence Turnbull. It highlights the family's long-standing contribution to both the removals industry and the city of Leeds.
To celebrate 150 years of Turnbull's, we welcomed a brand-new Britannia Turnbull's vehicle to the fleet. Throughout our history, more than 200 removal vehicles have proudly carried the Turnbull's name, helping customers move safely across the UK and beyond.
Today, Britannia Turnbulls combines more than 150 years of local expertise with the strength of the Britannia Movers International network. While our vehicles and services continue to evolve, our commitment remains unchanged—to provide reliable, professional and stress-free removals for generations to come.
