Recently, MI Transport was able to support the local community by helping to transport donated theatre seating for a youth theatre charity.

Silhouette Youth Theatre had fifteen rows of nine seats donated by the Royal Shakespeare Company a while back, and poised with transport and load at the ready, our enthusiastic team was quick to get stuck in and move them from storage into the theatre’s new space.

“I called a few companies to see if they could help, and it was MI Transport who offered to bring them here for us” said Leigh Wolmarans, CEO and Artistic Director of Silhouette.

“They were amazing. The MI Transport team, with help from the Shurgard Self Storage at Riverside at one end, and some of our neighbours from Lok’nStore and Clip and Climb in the centre, pitched in to help bring the seats over here and unload them.”

The charity was founded by former headteacher Leigh to provide children access to the arts, and the chance to explore drama, music and dance, regardless of family background or socio-economic status.

Julie Knowles, MI Transport’s HGV Supervisor said: “Most of our staff live locally, have children going to school locally, and as a company MI Transport is keen to do as much as it can to help within the community, wherever it can.”

Sometimes known as a two-man courier service and two-man delivery service, a two-person delivery service is used to transport bulky items or goods. People must handle these goods carefully, and one person can’t move them alone. As the name suggests, this service involves two people who are trained to safely move the goods to a specialist vehicle for transportation.

Why use a two-person delivery service?

When trying to transport large objects or pieces that are awkwardly shaped and difficult to manoeuvre, such as furniture, it’s a good idea to hire a delivery service.

Moving large items yourself can lead to damaging the item, your surroundings, or causing injury to yourself. These risks can be mitigated when working with professionals who are trained in this type of handling and transportation.

The delivery team will arrive with a suitably sized vehicle for moving the items, and the dedicated service means that only your consignments are loaded onto the vehicle.

Two-person delivery services will remove any packaging or boxes for you, saving you the hassle of disposing of it yourself. The crew can drop off your items to a specific room and can even build items like furniture. This makes two-person deliveries very convenient and hassle-free, with no manual labour required on your part.

Two-person deliveries are similar to a white-glove delivery service. However, white-glove deliveries are typically reserved for high-value items, whereas two-person delivery services can be applied to a range of purposes and industries. Two-person deliveries are most commonly hired to help with industries like construction, hospitality, events or personal use.

At MI Transport, our experienced two-person delivery team offer tailored services that can help you transport your items on the same day or a named day. Find out more about our team or book a service today by emailing  info@mitransportltd.co.uk.
