Used this Company for shredding of confidential paperwork, if you make arrangements you can take your waste and see it shredded. Would definitely recommend this company shows its long family history of business.

What a great find! Let down by our usual national shredding company so googled and found 'Simply Shredding Northallerton' (part of Archers Removals) right on our doorstep. Geoff Archer couldn't have been more helpful, reliable and friendly to deal with. Great communication throughout resulted in a top class service by him and his staff, no wonder they have just celebrated 100 years in business as a family removal firm. Nothing is too much trouble, just signed them up for a removal job as so impressed. will be staying with them now for all our shredding and removal needs.

Used Archers removals service. This company provided an excellent service. When Mr Archer came to look around the house to provide a quote he did so in a very professional and no fuss manner. The whole process was very straight forward. The company provided packing boxes, packing material and fastening tape as part of the quote for the removal. The removals team were very professional, polite, punctual and very accommodating.
Nothing was too much trouble. They could not have done a better job. In summary--- We received a quote, they came packed the wagon, drove to the new house and unpacked. Fantastic service from Archers---- well done Mr Archer and his team.
