Since 1928 Hadley & Ottaway has been a household name for removals, and in particular removals in Norwich. With 90 years experience, carrying out careful shipping, removals and storage services for some of the most discerning clients. No job is too big or too small for our team of expert removals staff.
At Hadley & Ottaway, everyone cares about your move. Many of the removals and office staff have been with the company for years and really understand just how important it is for removal companies to make sure that everything goes smoothly with your relocation. Our experience means that we can make moving home or office as seamless as possible, relieving you of any stress or worry during the moving period.
Our head office is based in the East Anglia region - this is the centre of operations as there is a dedicated training room, where new recruits and 'old hands' learn to pack delicate porcelain, barometers, grandfather clocks and pianos.

From start to finish everything about this company was carried out with consideration for my situation (recently widowed) and total efficiency. I could not have asked for better service.

Pleasant office contacts. Very hard working team who packed efficiently & were ahead of schedule right through. Left Cambridge & arrived at York early so able to unload far more than expected on day 2. Office also rang 2 weeks later to arrange collection of boxes as had lorry passing York. All in all a good team effort.

Arrived on time and made sure the carpets and front door were well protected. Were fast and efficient in moving all of our furniture into the lorry and were always happy to help or be patient as we were packing the final boxes. In our new home again they were fantastic, making sure everything was in the required rooms and not leaving until everything was put back together and we were happy. I would not hesitate in using Hadley & Ottaway again and would definitely recommend them to others. I was very grateful for the recommendation we had from a friend to use them in the first place!!
