Oxford PV used the services of IES to relocate our fragile laboratory equipment to our new facilities in Yarnton, Oxford. The whole process was well-planned and executed. The team moved the equipment professionally and was extremely helpful and flexible in their whole approach. I would not hesitate in using the services of IES in the future."
