New Student Movers Uniform Arrives

The long awaited work uniform for Student Movers was introduced this afternoon. The Uniform has been long coming, ever since the new ‘Silver and Black’ image was introduced back in March 2008. The new clothing consists of polo shirts, fleeces and heavy duty Regatta™ waterproof coats. The look is consistent with the new image with all garments in black and a silver logo proudly positioned on the right breast of each. This almost completes the image overhaul that Student Movers has gone through to prepare it’s self for the future. We can only see Student Movers having a future as one of the UK’s leading small load removals contractors and we thank all our customers for their continued support and wish you all well.

Student Movers Boss’ Sister Gets Married
Article written by Matthew Welch

Yesterday on the 12th July 2008 my Sister Joanna married her long term boyfriend Nick. The day was a meteorological miracle as the rain that was forecast never came. For long periods Nantwich was in fact a wash with sunshine. Throughout the day anybody inspecting the skies to the north could see dark clouds of all shades and sizes, but to everyone's amazement it seemed as they approached South Cheshire they somehow parted and traveled around us. The service went without many hitches and the evening and daytime receptions were both roaring successes. Although I don’t think either will read this article I wish them all the success and happiness possible in their new lives as husband and wife.

Student Movers Feeling The Effects of The Fuel Price Increase

As fuel prices escalate to new heights all sectors of the transportation industry are having to re-calculate pricing and wages. Here at Student Movers we have had no choice but to increase prices to sustain profitability. This has led to our third year in business being are most difficult. Today Student Movers boss Matthew Welch has said “Although in the past two months I have received more interest from potential customers than in any other two month period since I began trading in 2005, the rate at which I convert quotes into paying jobs has dropped to it’s lowest ever level.”

Student Movers have been forced to increase prices across the board by up to 40% and this is as a direct result of increasing fuel costs. In 2005 it cost Student Movers £54 to fill the tank of our Fiat Doblo van, now in 2008 it costs nearly £80. That's nearly a yearly increase of £1000 in fuel costs alone.

Today we learnt that road tax for our vehicle could rise by; up to, or over £100 per year. This is because it is classed as a high emissions vehicle. This seems a little unfair considering we have a driving policy in place which ensures our emissions levels remain as low as possible at all times. In fact the way our van is driven ensures our emissions are lower than some of the vehicles which will see their tax lowered for being so called lower emissions vehicles.

We think it may be time the government gave up its ten year war on the motorist and realised that the quantity of drivers on the road is a problem that could be rectified by introducing more challenging examinations and this alone would reduce the overall effect of the nation on the environment and reduce the amount of collisions on the roads.

Just finally we want to say that everyone involved in Student Movers wishes to express our support for all the protests and strike actions within the transport industry relating to the fuel prices and we intend to send our van to the next local protest.

Summer Weather Helps Our Low Emissions Targets

As the summer months continue to bring the UK reasonably fine weather most people who run a diesel powered vehicle will notice an increase in fuel efficiency and this is no different here at Student Movers. As you will see from our 64 mph motorway driving policy, we take our role in solving the global climate issue very seriously. Although we may only be a small company we hope that by our continued efforts to reduce our emissions other larger companies who operate small vans may take a similar measure to reduce their emissions.
In 2005 when we had no environmentally friendly policy our average fuel consumption was around 48 mpg. Today, with our new motorway driving policy and this fine summer weather, our average is up to 65 mpg.

Historic By-Election Result.

At around 02:30 am all the votes had been counted and the results were announced. The polls had all put the government and the Conservatives neck and neck, many feared a re-count would be needed. However even as counting was still underway, news of a huge majority was filtering through to the press. Tory faces in Nantwich Civic Hall looked cheerful in a way not seen for many years, the mood in the Labour camp seemed quite the opposite. The Returning Officer took to the stage alongside the candidates and began to announce the results. Of the major parties Labour’s result was read first and at just over 12,000 in an overall turnout of 58,000 it seemed History was in the making, Then when Edward Timpson’s 20,500 Conservative vote was read out we had a new MP and a Conservative MP for the first time in the History of this constituency. The Labour majority coming into this election was 7,200 and the Conservative majority now is 7,800 that’s a huge swing of 19.6%. It seems the political landscape of this country is changing. If this result was to reflect the views of the entire nation, if we went to general election today the house of commons would contain 497 Tory seats, just 100 Labour and 25 Lib Dem. Here at Student Movers there is a sense of new optimism towards the Conservative Party. We’re hoping that a new Government elected in two years time could stop spiraling fuel prices and bring our removals job costs back under control. Congratulations to Edward Timpson and hard luck to all the other candidates. A quick message to the Labour camp, who last night were focused on the point that they had worked hard but most importantly had great fun in their campaign to start a class war in this by-election, is “perhaps taking the politics and the interests of this country more seriously might have been better received by both the voters and the media.” Another message would be...”The country is now sick and tired of hearing what the past Conservative government did wrong every time a member of the Labour party speaks, that's along time ago now in fact people approaching a voting age today are not even old enough to remember the last Tory government.”

Home Town Gripped by By-Election

Crewe and Nantwich based Student Movers are right in the middle of the biggest by-election that the current Labour government have faced. Crewe and Nantwich has been under Labour control since the War and was represented by Gwyneth Dunwoody for something in the region of 36 years. The By-Election is being held due to the sad death of Gwyneth, who had been a great; MP and representative of the people of Crewe and Nantwich. The National press is in town to watch the final campaign efforts and to cover the results later tonight. Student Movers are hoping Gordon Brown is sent a strong message by the people here.

Big Promotional Tour Plans Unveiled

Today, deep in the heart of rural South Cheshire, Student Movers boss, Matthew Welch, unveiled his plans to take a promotional tour on the road. The Tour, set to combine live music with corporate publicity, is planned for the winter of 2009/ 2010. However nothing is set in stone yet. Mr Welch said, “the tour will not only help to promote the removals business but it will help young bands take a big leap towards stardom”. He hopes that bands selected to appear on the three band tour of University student union bars will be spotted by labels or promoters and taken on to bigger and better things thanks to Student Movers. With bands already in the pipeline and a similar Christian Rock tour planned you can be sure you’ll be hearing a lot more from the Student Movers brand in the future.

Student Movers news was started as a service in April 2008.
