From this humble beginning, Jim gradually built up his haulage business, which in those days meant anything that would fit on the lorry was part of the trade! Between 1950 and 1970 a constant flow of new regulations from various governments meant that Jim had to change direction a few times to comply with the ever-changng legislation (nothing new there then!). By 1972 Jim was looking towards retirement and shortly after the business passed on to two of his sons David and Bob, backed by their older sister Sheila. By 1979 they had ceased all haulage operations to concentrate on the ever-increasing removal and storage trade. The sale of the big haulage lorries helped to fund a massive investment in new lorries and warehouses specially designed and built for furniture handling. Perry Removals went from strength to strength and in 1994 the opportunity arose to acquire the long established company Direct Removals of Bishop's Stortford. With the strong reputation of Perry Removals and the added strength of Direct Removals, two excellent teams became one under the new name of Perry Direct. Despite the recession of the early 90's Perry Direct continued to be a by-word for quality removals.
