British Association of Removers

The British Association of Removers operates an approved code under the Approved Code Scheme operated by the Trading Standards Institute. While the Approved Code Scheme was originally launched by the OFT, management was transferred to the Consumer Code Approval Board (CCAB) in 2013. As a not-for-profit Community Interest Company (CIC), the CCAB was set-up to independently oversee the direction of the Scheme (with advice and scrutiny from the Code Sponsor Panel). However, the day-to-day running of the Scheme is handled entirely by the staff of the Chartered Trading Standards Institute (CTSI).

The Overseas Group is a dedicated group of companies within the British Association of Removers that specialise in all aspects of overseas removals.

Each member of the BAR Overseas Group is experienced in handling part and full container load consignments worldwide and in taking care of goods coming into the UK from abroad.

More importantly, every BAR Overseas Group member subscribes to a financial bonding scheme to protect all pre-payments to the company.

The Advance Payment Guarantee is a vital part of any overseas move and is only available from members of the BAR Overseas Group.
