What do you love most about your job?
What I love most about being a man with a van is the variety—no two days are the same. One day I’m helping a family move into their first home, the next I’m delivering a vintage sofa someone’s been dreaming about. I enjoy meeting new people, solving logistical challenges, and knowing I’m making someone’s day easier. There’s a real satisfaction in providing a service people can rely on, especially when it comes to something as important as their belongings.
What inspired you to start your own business?
It all started with helping friends and family move—just lending a hand and a van whenever someone needed it. I realized I actually enjoyed it—being on the road, helping people out, and the feeling of a job well done. Over time, I saw there was a real need for reliable, honest help when it comes to moving or transporting things. That’s when I decided to turn it into something more. What started as a favor became a business, and I’ve never looked back.
Why should our clients choose you?
Because I treat every job like it’s my own. Whether you’re moving a single item or an entire flat, I handle your belongings with care, respect, and professionalism. I show up on time, work efficiently, and always aim to make your move as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Clients choose me because I’m reliable, friendly, and flexible. I offer fair prices with no hidden fees, and I go the extra mile—literally and figuratively. If you want someone you can trust with your move, I’m your man with a van.

What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
The safety of my customers has always been my top priority, and during COVID-19, I took extra steps to ensure a clean, cautious, and contact-conscious service. I followed all government guidelines, including:
• Wearing face coverings during all jobs
• Regular hand sanitizing and cleaning of the van between moves
• Offering contactless payment options
• Practicing social distancing where possible during pickups and drop-offs
• Limiting the number of passengers or helpers inside the van
I also stayed in close communication with customers before each job to make sure everyone felt comfortable and informed. Even now, I continue to keep high hygiene standards to protect everyone I work with.
