Alfa Quality Moving becomes Alfa Mobility – a guiding light for customers and staff
Alfa Quality Moving has today (26 October 2022) announced its change of name to Alfa Mobility, to more accurately reflect the company’s wide range of services. This parent brand will include three operational brands – Alfa Moving, Alfa Relocation and Alfa Immigration – to manage their specific sectors.
As part of the new branding the company’s logo, which previously included a stylised Greek letter ‘a’, has been changed to include a star graphic depicting Polaris, The North Star, also conveniently known as Alpha Ursea Minoris. This fixed point above the northern pole has been a trusted guide for travellers for millennia and is the perfect image to convey Alfa’s mission: to guide people and give them peace of mind on their journey.
