In 1854, Joseph Hopson opened a furniture business on West Street, Newbury, which provided a delivery service to its customers' homes, making it the original removals service. In 1886, just around the corner, Alfred Camp opened his Drapery Bazaar on Northbrook Street. These businesses ran separately until Paul Hopson, grandson of Joseph, married Norah Camp, daughter of Alfred, in 1920.
The companies united to form Camp Hopson, comprising not only a removals service but also the hugely successful Camp Hopson department store, still thriving in Newbury to this day. This was followed by the Camp Hopson funeral directors, based at 90 West Street. For the next 90 years, the Camp Hopson businesses remained in family hands, with an emphasis on maintaining a quality service for the people of Newbury and the surrounding areas.

Camp Hopson Removals believes that strong partnerships are the key ingredients to customer satisfaction. If you would like to join our partner programme please contact us for further information. Moving home can be stressful, but we also know that it can be exciting and life-changing. So, the last thing you should be worried about are the legal complexities involved with buying or selling your house.
When you move home, it is standard practice to pay your removal company in advance. You would obviously be concerned therefore that if your chosen remover suffered financial failure before your moving date, you would have lost any payment made and so for that reason, BAR members provide an Advanced Payment Guarantee to their customers.

The removal guys were fast, efficient, friendly, helpful and didn’t moan at anything - not even the 6.5ft wall they had to lift the furniture up onto to get it into the property, or the 50 plus potted plants that they had to carry up the steep garden.
They made what could have been an extremely stressful day run like clockwork and reassured us all the way that everything was ok.
We’re really pleased we chose them to move us from Hampshire to Wales. We would recommend them 100%.

I cannot thank Camp Hopson Removals enough.
After initially moving us out & putting our processions in their storage facilities, 6 weeks later they’ve moved us back in
They arrived very promptly & quickly started unloading. Nothing was too much trouble, everything was placed where we wanted it, everything that was taken apart for moving was put back together like beds, washing machine etc.
They took great care of everything, and didn’t damage anything!
They were fantastic!

Camp Hobsons have no covid planning and have clearly not considered their response meaning people are completely left in the lurch with no support at the last minute.
On 16/12 Camp Hobsons arrived to do a pack of our 4 bed house the day before our move I mentioned my 9 yo had had a positive lateral flow test (and of course we would make him sit in the garden and all the windows would be open) ,that we were triple jabbed and negative - and we hadn’t had any PCR results back yet. No-one had called prior to ask about our covid status. They then refused to do the pack or move and that was it! This

Positive: Professionalism
Very happy with CH from beginning to end. We packed ourselves and their advice was invaluable. The removal team are a credit to the company, the way our belongings where packed into a shipping container aka Box of Doom whilst we are in rental, takes real skill to fit it all in. Polite, understanding and professional. Thank you.

The team were friendly, courteous and very efficient. Every aspect of the service ran smoothly from packaging, with certain contents being placed in temporary storage, to delivery to our new address. Their collective experience was evident and eliminated any element of stress on our part. We can highly recommend Camp Hopson Removals.
