What a great day! 🏁🚗

We were really pleased to be invited along to another fantastic day at Croft Circuit, and even better, it was all for a brilliant cause.

It’s lovely to see everyone coming together to celebrate Tim’s life and his love of cars, while raising an amazing £2,300+ for Yorkshire Air Ambulance. 🚁❤️

There was plenty going on, and it was great to see the apprentices getting involved and enjoying some time out on track too.

A big well done to everyone who organised it, took part and helped raise such a fantastic amount.

Good people, good cars and a very good cause. You can’t ask for much more than that. 👍🏻

Random Fact Friday…

⛽ Fuel has certainly been a hot topic in the news and on the streets this week, but have you ever wondered where the name diesel actually comes from?

And no, it’s not Vin Diesel! 😂

We have Rudolf Diesel, a German inventor and mechanical engineer, to thank for the diesel engine. Born in Paris in 1858, Diesel became fascinated by engines and the idea of creating something more efficient than the steam engines of the day.

He even experimented with different fuels, including vegetable oils, and one of his early engines was famously run on peanut oil. 🥜

But there’s a rather mysterious ending to Rudolf Diesel’s story…

On 29 September 1913, Diesel boarded a steamship in Antwerp, travelling to London for a meeting. He went to bed after asking to be woken at 6:15am. When the call came, his cabin was empty, his bed had not been slept in and Diesel was nowhere to be found.

He was never seen alive again.

His disappearance remains a mystery. His family later discovered a bag containing a substantial amount of cash and bank documents, and a cross had been drawn in his diary beside the date of his disappearance.

To this day, it has never been established with certainty whether Diesel took his own life or was the victim of foul play.

What is certain is that he never lived to see just how much his invention would change transport, industry and the way we power things.

And as for us… despite all the talk about fuel this week, we’ve kept the wheels turning and our crews out doing what they do best , moving homes and businesses. 🚚

There’s a reason we’ve been doing it for over 107 years and four generations.

Here’s today’s Random Fact Friday 🌳⭐

Did you know there are thought to be more trees on Earth than stars in the Milky Way?

It’s estimated there are around 3 trillion trees on our planet, compared with roughly 400 billion stars in our galaxy. Pretty mind-boggling when you think about it!

Here at Archers, we believe looking after those trees and the environment around us is something we all need to play our part in.

We’re proud to support tree-planting schemes through the Woodland Trust and Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust. 🌱

We also work closely with our recycling partners to divert waste generated through clearances, removals and shredding away from landfill. Wherever possible, materials are separated and sent for recycling rather than simply being thrown away.

We care about where we live, the environment we work in and, importantly, what we leave behind for future generations.

So, when you’re getting a price for your next move, perhaps ask the removal companies you’re considering:

“What are you doing to help our future?”

It’s a question worth asking.

There’s a reason we’ve been moving homes and businesses for over 107 years, and looking after our customers, our community and our environment is all part of that.

🏃‍♂️ It’s Great North Run weekend!

Thousands of runners will be heading to the North East this weekend, taking on the famous 13.1-mile route.

But did you know the marathon distance wasn’t always 26.2 miles?

When the marathon was first introduced at the Olympic Games, the distance was around 25 miles. At the 1908 London Olympics, the course was extended so it could start at Windsor Castle, giving Queen Alexandra a view of the start from the Royal Box, and finish in front of the royal box at the Olympic Stadium.

That made the distance 26.2 miles, which was eventually adopted as the official marathon distance in 1921.

Our crews might not be running a marathon every day, but they certainly put the miles in! 🚚💪

Between carrying boxes, furniture and everything else that comes with moving house, our teams will easily clock up the equivalent of a Parkrun (5km) and more on a busy moving day.

It takes plenty of stamina, experience and teamwork to get a home moved safely and we’ve had 107 years and four generations to get pretty good at it!

So whether you’re running the Great North Run this weekend or simply enjoying a well-earned cuppa, have a great Friday and a brilliant weekend. ☕🏃‍♂️

Here’s one to start the weekend…

Did you know that ants can lift around 50 times their own body weight? 🐜

If us humans could do the same, the average person would apparently be able to lift around 4,000kg. Now that’s getting pretty close to the empty weight of one of our smaller removal trucks!

It would certainly make moving house a lot easier… although I think we’ll stick with the trucks and our team for now!

When it comes to packing your own boxes, there is a good rule of thumb to remember. Our boxes are labelled with a maximum weight of 20kg, so if you can’t comfortably lift it, don’t fill it. Heavy boxes aren’t just difficult to carry, they can also make moving and handling them much harder and less safe.

And if you’re not sure how best to pack something, just ask us. After 107 years of moving homes and businesses, we’ve picked up a few tricks along the way!

Happy Friday! ☀️🍦

With the warm weather we’ve been enjoying, there’s every chance you’ve heard the familiar tune of the ice cream van this week. But here’s a fact you might not know…

Before she became Prime Minister, Margaret Roberts (later Margaret Thatcher) worked as a research chemist at J. Lyons & Co., helping to develop emulsifiers used in ice cream.

Before the 1950s, ice cream vans carried pre-made ice cream that had been produced at the factory. Advances in food science, including Margaret Roberts’ work on emulsifiers and introducing air into the mixture, helped make soft-serve ice cream possible. That meant ice cream vans could freshly whip up a Mr Whippy on the spot! Something many of us still enjoy today.

So, the next time you hear the ice cream van coming down the road, you can thank a certain Prime Minister for helping make your 99 Flake that little bit lighter and creamier!

Talking of warm weather, keeping cool is just as important on moving day. A cold drink or a glass of water is always appreciated by our team when they’re working hard, especially on days like these. A little refreshment goes a long way and helps keep everyone moving safely.

Happy Friday! ☀️

With the summer holidays just around the corner, plenty of us will be jetting off somewhere warmer for a well-earned break. Whether it’s Europe, the Canaries or somewhere a little further afield, it’s always interesting to know a bit about the places we visit.

Take Tenerife, for example. Most people know it’s part of Spain, but did you know it’s actually around 700 miles closer to the Equator than it is to mainland Spain?

The island has quite a history too. It was here that Admiral Lord Nelson lost his arm during the Battle of Santa Cruz de Tenerife in 1797, the only major battle he ever lost. Then, many years later, Tenerife played another significant role in history as the place where General Franco launched the Spanish Civil War.

Talking of holidays, here’s a little moving tip. If you’re buying or selling a home, don’t forget to tell your solicitor if you’ve got a holiday booked. Keeping everyone informed of dates can help avoid unnecessary delays and make planning your move much easier.

A little communication goes a long way.

Here's one for you...

Did you know Yorkshire is home to more than 650 castles, abbeys and historic monuments? From the ruins of Rievaulx Abbey to the mighty Richmond Castle and the iconic Whitby Abbey, there's history tucked away in every corner of the county.

Some of those buildings have been standing for hundreds of years, proving that if something is built properly, it'll stand the test of time.

It's a bit like a good house move. The key isn't rushing it; it's all in the planning, the preparation and having the right people doing the job. That's what helps everything go smoothly on the day.

We've been helping families and businesses move across Yorkshire for over 107 years, and while we've moved plenty of antiques over the years, thankfully we've never been asked to move a castle!

If you're planning a move and would like some friendly advice, we're only a phone call away.

Happy sunny Friday! ☀️

We’ve all heard of the Tyne Tunnel, the Dartford Tunnel, and of course the Channel Tunnel… but have you ever wondered which tunnel is actually the longest?

You have to travel across the Atlantic to find it. The Delaware Aqueduct in the USA stretches an incredible 85 miles, carrying water from the Rondout Reservoir all the way to New York.

But we don’t have to go that far to find an engineering marvel. Right here in the UK, the Haweswater Aqueduct runs for 96 miles from the Lake District to Manchester. Built between 1890 and 1925, it’s a remarkable piece of Victorian engineering, delivering over 220 million litres of drinking water every day, around 11% of the North West’s water supply.

Even more impressive, the journey takes around 36 hours, all powered by gravity. In fact, it’s the longest gravity-fed aqueduct in the world, and if all of its tunnel sections were joined together, it would be the longest tunnel anywhere.

Talking of water… with the temperatures we’ve been enjoying recently, keeping hydrated is just as important on moving day. Our team are always grateful for a glass of cold water when working hard, especially on a warm day. It keeps everyone refreshed, safe and ready to keep your move running smoothly.

There is a reason we’ve been moving homes and businesses across North Yorkshire for over 107 years and four generations.

Random Fact Friday! 🌎⏰

Did you know that every 100 years the moon’s gravitational pull slows the Earth’s rotation by just enough to add around 1.4 milliseconds to our day?

Sounds tiny, doesn’t it? But like everything, those little bits of time all add up.

In fact, when dinosaurs were wandering around, a day was only around 23 hours long! 🦕

Now, when it comes to moving home, we know that time is everything. 🔑

There’s the time your keys are released, the time needed to carefully load the lorry, the time our teams have to get everything packed and protected, the driving time, the all-important brew break ☕, the unloading, and finally… the moment you can put your feet up and enjoy your new home.

At Archers, we take the time to explain every stage of your move, from the initial home visit right through to the moment our team waves goodbye.

Because after over 107 years of moving homes and businesses, we know that a successful move isn’t just about getting from A to B, it’s about getting everything right along the way.
