Therefore, we have created a members’ area on the website which, (among other things) allows members to tell us exactly what they think, offer ideas, discuss future developments and generally be part of the AIM community. We are also happy to talk to our members on any removals industry issue, either on the phone or at our offices. The AIM website also allows for easy exchange of work between members via the discussion boards and direct messaging, to multiple members, groups, individuals or all members at once.



★ Purchase Power

We look for the best deals for our members. This works better if purchases are made through our website or if you tell the supplier they were recommended by AIM.
