    I'm a bit behind, so perhaps you've already gotten a slew a
    responses. I moved my shop a few times, and I basically packed it up
    myself. I assured the movers that they wouldn't WANT to pack it,
    there was toooooo much stuff, tooooo many little things, so I was
    actually doing them a favor by doing it myself. I either packed
    groups of things into small boxes that they then put into their
    larger boxes, or I created a moving-size box of my own. It was
    agreed upon that anything I packed wasn't covered the same way as
    theirs- I mean if the box was damaged then it was their thing, but if
    the box was fine & I just didn't pack it well, then it was mine. I
    suppose I was "allowed" to pack anything I wanted to, with that same
    stipulation. They used their own boxes, so it was obvious which ones
    weren't packed by them. So, in doing that, I was able to pack all of
    these things without them knowing really what was there. A couple of
    the moves were transatlantic (in a ship container), and I wouldn't
    have wanted to mail stuff that distance, nor carry it on the plane,
    so I perhaps I just made sure it was good and buried amongst my
    stuff in the container. For a domestic move that I made, though, with
    the same things, I just transported the valuables (metals & expensive
    stones, as well as other personal valuables) myself since it was
    in-state and I drove from the old place to the new place. You're
    move is somewhere between the two, of course. Not across the ocean
    but not a short drive. Perhaps you're driving anyway, though, so you
    can still take your really valuable stuff & just pack up your myriad
    of tools & such yourself for the movers. Good luck, and have fun
    setting up your new studio!

    Oops, I just realized you said England, not NEW Enlgand. So it IS
    transatlantic! So your move, then, is pretty much like my move to
    Germany. In a container across the sea. Again, see if they will let
    you pack up some of your things yourself.
