About Tweedy Acheson
Tweedy Acheson is a long-established removal and storage company with deep roots in Limavady and a history extending back more than a century. Today, we help households and businesses in Limavady, Londonderry and across Northern Ireland plan and complete moves locally and further afield.
A Family Business With Deep Local Roots
The Tweedy Acheson story began at the start of the 20th century, when the Acheson family operated a drapery business in Pearse Street, Cavan Town. The family later relocated to the north-west of Northern Ireland and established a shop on Main Street in Limavady. As the business developed, William Acheson purchased adjoining property to create additional space and support its continued growth.
During the 1960s, the family opened a large department store selling clothing and household products for men, women and children. Tweedy Acheson also operated a furniture shop and a separate budget store, becoming a familiar name within the local community. These early businesses established a strong connection with Limavady and created a tradition of serving local customers that continues today. Although the services provided by the company have changed over time, the Tweedy Acheson name remains closely connected with the town and its surrounding communities.
From One Lorry to an Established Removals Company
Tweedy Acheson Removals & Storage was established by Keith Acheson during the 1970s. The removals business began with a single lorry, providing a practical service for customers moving their belongings between properties. As demand increased over the following two decades, the company expanded and modernised its fleet. Tweedy Acheson vehicles soon became a familiar sight on roads throughout Ireland and the wider UK.
The company now provides a range of moving and storage solutions for domestic and commercial customers in Limavady, Londonderry and throughout Northern Ireland.
Our home moving services support individuals and families relocating locally or over longer distances, while our business moving services help organisations plan the transfer of furniture, equipment and other workplace contents. We can also provide storage solutions for customers who need additional space before, during or after a move. Every relocation is different, so we take the time to understand the property, destination, timescale and level of assistance required before recommending a suitable approach.
Professional Standards You Can Depend On
Choosing a removal company means placing your belongings, furniture and important possessions in someone else’s care. Tweedy Acheson takes this responsibility seriously and remains committed to delivering a properly organised and professional service. We are members of the British Association of Removers and work in accordance with its Chartered Trading Standards Institute-approved Code of Practice.
BAR membership requires removal companies to meet established criteria covering their staff, vehicles, premises and facilities. Members are also regularly inspected to confirm that these professional standards continue to be maintained. This provides customers with additional reassurance when arranging a home move, business relocation or storage service. Alongside these recognised standards, our longstanding industry experience helps us anticipate the practical details that can affect a move. From discussing access and timescales to considering packing and storage requirements, our aim is to provide clear information and dependable support throughout the process.
