The boss of Bulky Bob’s said he has “no beef” with Liverpool Council as the furniture service launches its new operation following the end of a two-decade partnership with the local authority.
Almost three months ago, Liverpool Council ended its partnership with the FRC Group - which operates the bulky collection service - after 22 years having deemed its terms to no longer represent best value. The local authority had used the company to collect and dispose of large furniture items for residents for free across the city since 2000.
Now, the service is to relaunch, independent of the city council, providing a paid collection of £30 for five items in brand new pink vans across Liverpool. Speaking at the launch, Shaun Doran, chief executive of the FRC Group said it had not been a surprise that its working relationship with the council came to an end.
