Meet the Owner: Quinaard Alleyne

Where are you based?   
I am based in North West London (Wembley) but I cover all across London to the UK and parts of Europe. 

When did you launch? 
My company was officially launched on 3rd September 2020 

How and why did you come up with the idea? 
Myself and my previous business partner used to do removals under external companies. We realised we could integrate our experience and knowledge to run our own company. 

What barriers / obstacles did you have to overcome and how did you do it? 
The first barrier was not having enough money to purchase our own van, so instead we had to call around for an affordable van hire company. Another barrier, which we still experience, is not receiving enquiries or bookings from customers outside of the black community. This was a real eye opener to see this issue within the UK, a place that’s meant to represent equality. 

What is different about your product and brand? 
Our removal business is focused on providing a service of professionalism and efficiency. 

What are your plans for the future? 
We aim to expand into a large logistics company that imports and exports national and international goods. 

Are you looking for funding / investment? 
It would be great to receive funding for the purchase of a Luton Van which would prevent me from having to hire one each time we have a booking. It saves time and can make the business way more productive in terms of accepting more jobs – we would be able to facilitate more customers.
