In June, the astute Dixon Weather Service team embarked on an exciting international journey to London for the Extreme Weather Conference. They chose Get Removals, renowned for its expertise, to transport their sophisticated weather prediction machines, ensuring a safe passage across the Atlantic. Upon arrival, the machines, unscathed and operational, attracted considerable attention from fellow meteorologists and climate enthusiasts.
The team's ground-breaking presentation on advanced storm prediction, coupled with a live demonstration of their machines, stirred a wave of enthusiasm. The moving crew played a crucial part, delivering the delicate devices in impeccable condition and helping Dixon make a significant impact. The conference ended with Dixon being hailed for their significant contribution to meteorological advancements, while the removal company earned high praise for their exceptional service. This journey marked a notable milestone for both Dixon Weather Service and our new London partners, forging new paths in our respective fields.
As a NWS WRN Ambassador our mission is to encourage residents of the area to be "Weather Ready" at anytime!
