Do Daley & Co work for trade and commercial clients?
Yes. Daley & Co carry out trade and commercial work across the North West — retail fit-out deliveries, gym and catering equipment relocations, exhibition and event logistics, and regular contract work for businesses needing a reliable haulage and handling partner. We run our own HGV fleet and warehouse, so capacity does not depend on a subcontractor's availability, and work can be scheduled outside trading hours.
Overview

Heavy machinery, racking systems, retail fit-outs, and warehouse relocations require specialist equipment, experienced crews, and meticulous planning. Daley & Co has the vehicles, equipment, and expertise to handle the most demanding commercial logistics projects across the North West and UK.

Industrial and Warehouse Relocations
Moving an industrial premises — whether a factory, warehouse, or distribution centre — requires specialist equipment, experienced crews, and meticulous planning to minimise operational downtime. Daley & Co has the heavy-lifting capability, specialist vehicles, and project management expertise to relocate entire production lines, warehouse racking systems, and industrial plant. We work with your operations team to plan the move sequence, ensuring that critical equipment is moved last and reinstalled first. Our crews are experienced in working within industrial environments and hold all necessary safety certifications including CSCS cards, forklift licences, and IPAF accreditation for working at height.
Retail Fit-Out and Shop Relocations
Retail moves have unique pressures — every day your shop is closed is a day of lost revenue. Daley & Co specialises in retail relocations that minimise trading downtime. We work overnight and at weekends to move fixtures, fittings, stock, and point-of-sale equipment so that your new premises can open as quickly as possible. Our retail experience covers high-street shops, shopping centre units, department store concessions, and pop-up installations. We handle everything from gondola shelving and mannequins to refrigeration units and electronic point-of-sale systems. For national retailers with multiple sites, we can coordinate simultaneous moves across different locations.
Heavy Machinery and Plant Equipment
Moving heavy machinery requires specialist knowledge of weight distribution, lifting points, and transport securing methods. Our commercial team has experience relocating CNC machines, printing presses, injection moulding equipment, industrial ovens, and production line machinery weighing up to several tonnes. We use hydraulic lifting equipment, specialist skates, and low-loader transport for the heaviest items. For exceptionally heavy or oversized equipment, we coordinate with crane hire companies and specialist haulage providers. Every heavy lift is supported by a detailed method statement, risk assessment, and lifting plan prepared by our commercial project manager.
Compliance, Safety, and Documentation
Commercial and industrial environments have strict safety and compliance requirements that standard removal companies often cannot meet. Daley & Co provides full risk assessments and method statements (RAMS) for every commercial project, COSHH assessments where hazardous substances are present, and can meet the specific requirements of any site induction process. Our operatives hold current CSCS cards, manual handling certificates, and can obtain site-specific accreditations as required. We carry £10 million public liability insurance and £10 million employer’s liability insurance as standard. All documentation is provided in advance of the move and is available for audit by your health and safety team or facilities management company.
