Maidmans Moves Dorset Cricket’s Office
We successfully moved the Dorset Cricket office from their headquarters in Blandford to our storage facility in Poole, their belongings are now closer to the majority of their staff who will be remote working.
The job involved two floors, winding stairs and the wind and rain of Storm Austen, and our crew handled all three excellently on the day!

Who are Dorset Cricket?
Dorset Cricket leads the development of cricket across Dorset, bringing together clubs, schools, communities and partners to create more opportunities for people to play, volunteer and thrive through the game.
According to the Dorset Cricket website, its aim is to encourage and inspire more people of any age, background or ability to enjoy cricket in the county.
Its work includes supporting clubs, school coaching and junior competitions, a talent pathway for boys and girls, county teams and disability cricket.
We are delighted to have helped them with this move!
Two floors, winding stairs and Storm Austen
The Dorset Cricket office in Blandford was on the first and second floors, that meant plenty of stairs for our crew, with office chairs, boxes and furniture all needing to be carried down.
The weather on the day certainly added to the challenge!
The Met Office named Storm Austen on 20 October and issued a yellow wind warning for southern England, with rain and strong winds expected.
Carrying furniture out of one building and into our specialist vehicle in those conditions takes planning, and our crew handled it well.
Moving in wet and windy weather is something we plan for, and our guide to moving house in winter explains how.
Thank you to the crew
A massive thank you to Chris, Josh and Kieren, who did a sterling job despite the weather.
Jobs like this rely on careful planning and a crew who are happy to take on the stairs.
