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 the estimate, talking to the office and the crew that moved us over 2 days, all was helpful, polite and very professional. The crew helped make the move far less stressful and managed to even get all our plants in the van! The packing materials & floor covering was the best we have experienced in our many moves.

Everyone from first contact to last contact could not have been more helpful during a stressful move as we had 10 in the chain and Hadley & Ottaway were very understanding in every way.

Our move was over a long distance, but both the packing and the moving team dealt with all difficulties with good grace. They worked incredibly hard. We'd certainly recommend them to anyone wanting to move. Team in the office brilliant too.

Very professional estimate and quotation very thorough review of new property. On the day 2 removers arrived promptly and worked extremely hard and efficiently with good humour. Next day (after driving over 200 miles) they were at the new property before 7am and again worked tirelessly unloading up 4 flights of stairs. An extremely good job. I would recommend them highly.
