One of the greatest benefits of working in the moving and relocation industry is that, wherever you are in the world, you can always catch up with a friend.

Paul Evans, Chairman of the AGM Group, popped in to see Freddy Hoult – former owner of Hoults of Newcastle and now part of Pickfords - during a recent visit to the island of Lindisfarne off the North East coast of England.

The two men have been friends since 1980, when Paul met Freddy in Torquay while attending his first ever BAR convention. Since then, the two have remained good friends with an open invitation to each other to drop in, if either is in the area.

Paul, and his brother-in-law Tim, were treated to a lovely lunch with Freddy and his wife Peta, on the island.
