History
Since its emergence in the 19th century, the company has remained under the control of the Robinson family. Alfred's four sons went on to become working directors of the business and up to the present day the fourth generation of the Robinson family have been influential to the company's growth with Alfred's great-grandson Anthony now taking up the role of managing director. Philippa Robinson, sister to Anthony, manages the Corporate and International business as Chief Operating Officer.

By 1911, the company had become the first removal company within the United Kingdom to provide road service from North to South after the opening of their London branch, which was shortly followed by the unveiling of their Birmingham warehouse in 1928.

After the war the company opened a warehouse in Bristol in 1948 and introduced computerised moving and migration services in the late 60's. Due to the encouragement from the British government for Britons to immigrate to Australia as part of the Commonwealth, Robinson's took advantage of the high demand for further migration services in the relocation industry.
