All our team understand the importance of treating the contents of your property with care and diligence, ensuring that fragile and specialist items are housed in the appropriate protective packaging so that they’re safe from harm. They’ll take care as they remove boxes from your home so that paintwork, banisters and carpets are not knocked or marked. In 1854, Joseph Hopson opened a furniture business on West Street, Newbury, which provided a delivery service to its customers’ homes, making it the original removals service. In 1886, just around the corner, Alfred Camp opened his Drapery Bazaar on Northbrook Street. These businesses ran separately until Paul Hopson, grandson of Joseph, married Norah Camp, daughter of Alfred, in 1920. The companies united to form Camp Hopson, comprising not only a removals service but also the hugely successful Camp Hopson department store, still thriving in Newbury to this day. This was followed by the Camp Hopson funeral directors, based at 90 West Street.
