Frank Tripp established the family business in 1966 when, after taking over an extensive newspaper round from his father, he began using his box van to carry out small removals. Ever the entrepreneur, Frank also delivered goods, including horse manure for market gardens and cattle food.
In addition, he supplied vegetables to the London and Sheffield markets, provided coal and tarmacadam for Council road works and transported personnel from RNAS Culdrose to other naval bases including Weymouth and Portsmouth.During the 1960s only a few firms like Pickfords, Smiths and Christophers were carrying out national removals.

Critical: Professionalism
This company had my late brother's things in storage and destroyed the lot, without having the decency to even let me look at them (he died in debt and the debt was not legally mine). Could have had family heirlooms in there for all I know. Not a way to treat someone who's grieving but this is exactly what they did. Disgusting.

Tripp provided a terrible service to us during our move this year.
We paid for special packaging of expensive curtains, and found them rolled up at the bottom of a cardboard box, with items on top of them. Delicate ornaments were broken and seemed randomly packed. Wardrobes were only partly reassembled and badly damaged.
Our complaints were met with a combative and defensive approach, and no offer of compensation.

Professional, efficient, friendly service from the beginning, in creating an inventory through to the three day move. The moving team were prompt and worked hard, always with good humour. Thoughtful and careful packing of all items from fragile china to soft wood furniture and pictures. A well researched move, travelling over 270 miles with restricted access at the new home, all with no complications and no breakages. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company to anyone, and as a single 80 year old woman moving on my own I felt informed and supported throughout the process.

We were incredibly happy with the total package provided by this Company on our move from Surrey to Cornwall.
The timeliness of the arrival, packing and unloading was excellent, the friendliness and professionalism of Dan, Adam and Nick was outstanding and of course the move in itself, albeit with some challenges with oversized furniture, went off very well.
Thank you to you and your team and I would strongly recommend anyone to use Tripp Removals in the future.

Tripp removals helped me settle into my new home. Their quote was extremely competitive and for it, I received a first class service. They responded quickly to all of my questions leading up to the move, nothing was too much trouble. They were professional and very helpful on the day including moving items within the house to help me get things in the right place. Would highly recommend
