Bishop’s Move oversee the relocation of Gibraltar hospital
9th June 2008
Island’s foremost medical facility calls in the specialists for its forthcoming move
Gibraltar’s Royal Naval Hospital is set to go under a drastic transformation thanks to the UK’s largest privately owned removals company.
Bishop’s Move is set to manage the relocation of the hospital, famous for its location at the top of the famous ‘rock’ island. Set to enjoy a complete revitalisation, the move to its new premises, also in Gibraltar, will take place in November and has been seen as a significant step forward to dramatically update medical facilities on the island. The old hospital is set to be transformed into flats.
The Bishop’s Move staff, from both the Gibraltar and Southampton branches, will run the move providing fifteen men a day to pack, store and deliver items such as dental chairs, microscopes, operating tables and –70 degree freezers. Handling such items will pose no problem to the Bishop’s Move team, as it has previous experience relocating hospitals in the UK including the Coventry and Warwickshire hospital which was the largest hospital move within the UK transforming
The two-week operation is set to revamp the hospital providing them with better working conditions along with a more practicable location for its staff and patients. However, the hospital will remain open during the process of the move potentially making this a project that will throw up some difficult situations.
Bishop’s Move business relocation director, Bob Willet, who has been heavily involved in the planning process of the move for the best part of a year comments: “Our staff are trained to provide a fully professional service despite any difficult circumstances they may come across. They have experience of being part of such a move in the UK so I expect a very thorough and efficient job done here, as is always expected by Bishop’s Move staff.”
