History
Allied Pickfords Australia was established in 1926 as family-owned moving company named Downard Transport. In 1982, the British-based movers, Pickfords, bought the company to form Downard Pickfords. In 1991, as part of a global rebranding exercise, Downard Pickfords became Allied Pickfords. In 1996, Pickfords (including the subsidiary Allied Pickfords in Australia) was sold to Allied Van Lines in a deal worth $400 million. In 1999, Allied Van Lines and North American Van Lines merged in 2002.
