“The Precision team were thorough and helpful as I had to clear my mother's house and we needed to allocate the contents to various parties into separate storage units. They were considerate, attentive and nothing was a problem.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely outstanding service from Canmore Cabs! From start to finish, the experience was smooth, professional, and reliable. The driver arrived on time, the car was clean and comfortable, and the journey was incredibly pleasant. What stood out most was the friendliness and courtesy of the driver — it genuinely felt like more than just a cab ride. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Canmore Cabs to anyone looking for dependable, top-quality transport. A truly 5-star experience. Will definitely be booking again. Thank you!”

“Fast, no problem, great customer service”

“The perfect place to stay for our mini moon in Edinburgh! The rooms were really comfortable, with a huge bed with lovely bedding. The room had everything we needed: towels and toiletries, hot drinks, TV, as well as access to a lounge area. The location was lovely and quiet, while still being close to the centre on foot and by tram (nearest tram stop was 15 mins walk away). It was a great surprise that many aspects of the B&B were eco-friendly, from the toiletries to the sourcing of the food. John was a great host, super friendly and helpful. You can tell he cares about making sure people have a good stay!”

“Amazing company! Owners, well done for your achievements, you have the best business from start to finish! Thank you for your compassion and kindness ❤️”

“A first rate service. Prompt answer on the telephone. The operator spoke clearly and concisely and repeated my request so that there were no errors.

“Very nice journey. Driver was very pleasant n friendly. Arrived bang on time. Amazing service Kirkcaldy Cabs, thank you”

“We cannot recommend extrordinaire enough, they have been fantastic getting our dog Moz from point A to B! Having a single point of contact (Ellen) made the process so much more personal and straightforward. She was always quick to respond to emails or speak on the phone to reassure my husband and I, and to help us really understand the process; which went very smoothly! We really appreciate the incredibly personal and professional experience Ellen provided, including frequent updates and photos of Moz as he embarked on his journey to be with us again. She also helped us to save money by acquiring a wooden crate for us, rather than use the more expensive plastic ones. Special shout outs to Kenny who collected Moz from our old home in Scotland and also to Sarah from 4 paws for driving him to our new home.”

“I was relocating to Canada in 2023 I had long known about Purdies as many many years ago when my parents were moving they had contacted Purdies they were excellent then and are excellent now. From start to finish the service was superb I had lots of questions and they were answered promptly the employee I was dealing with was Gemma her knowledge friendliness were second to none nothing was too much trouble from start to finish. Unfortunately we were in a position that we had to come back to Scotland in 2025. How did I do that from Canada I didn’t know any companies so my first port of call or email was Gemma at Purdies. Sure enough she was on the ball got me sorted straightaway with a local shipping agent and guided me through the process all over again. The return process was made so easy through the knowledge and expertise. Both crews that dealt with my shipment leaving and coming back were friendly helpful and got straight on the job again the can do attitude is perfect just what you need as moving is such a stressful situation so all the reassurance and communication gave me great confidence that I had chosen the correct company for my relocation I honestly can’t praise Purdies enough and if I am ever in the position where I will be moving again they would be my go to company absolutely 100 percent”

“I hired Doree Bonner to move my furnishings from the UK to the US and the process from the beginning has gone great! The sales person I worked with was so helpful and I can't say enough about the team who came to the flat to pack up my belongings. They were so professional and did such a great job. I haven't received my furnishings yet so the process isn't complete but so far the UK side of things couldn't have been better.”
