IT could be that number three is the charm for Reddaways Removals Ltd — for the third year in a row the West Devon business has reached the final of the prestigious British Association of Removers Domestic Remover of the year competition.

Reddaways Removals, based in South Zeal, are the only firm to have been in the final of the competition every year since it started in 2009.

Director Mike Clinch said: 'This is the third year of the national competition and being in the final three years running is a huge testament to our fantastic team of staff who work hard to ensure we're offering the highest level of service possible.'

The British Associations of Removers, formed in 1900, is the largest and oldest trade association in the removals sector.

The overall winner will be announced on May 14 at the annual BAR conference in Manchester.
