I think Pickfords and Allied Pickford Australia should be merged (into Pickfords) because they are after all the same company - different subsidiary.

Apologies, see the talk page on Allied Pickfords Australia

In actual fact Allied Pickfords is a separate firm to the UK company. The company was Downard Pickfords in Australia until a rebrand under American ownership whilst jointly owned. The brand of Pickfords (UK) was sold to the UK based TEAM Group which also owns TEAM Allied in Europe. Allied Pickfords at this time remains owned by SIRVA Inc (USA). They are very separate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.157.56.196 (talk) 18:19, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
