Pickfords talks
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.LOGISTICS company NFC has confirmed it is in talks to merge its Pickfords removals business with US company North American Van Lines. NFC said there was no certainty of a deal being agreed but negotiations with the US group were continuing. An agreement could see NFC, which is expected to retain about 20 per cent of the new group, raise about pounds 253m. The marriage would create the largest home removals group in the world.
Pickfords is already a big operator in North America. Based in Enfield, Middlesex, the company has 75 branches and storage centres across the UK and 1,200 worldwide, employing 3,700 staff.
