Planning a move? Start with peace of mind

When planning a workplace move, what you really want is peace of mind. You want to know everything is covered, that the move will be smooth, compliant, and carried out with care. At Ede’s, that’s exactly what we deliver. We’ve been moving businesses for over 150 years, and whether you’re relocating a small team or an entire organisation, we’re here to take the stress off your shoulders.

Before any physical move begins, our process starts with listening and understanding your organisation’s goals, challenges, timelines, and sensitivities. We assign a dedicated move manager who will guide you through every step, from planning and packing to logistics and post-move follow-up. We carry out site surveys, detailed risk assessments, and provide transparent project timelines tailored around your operations. Our full suite of services includes crate hire, IT relocation, secure file and archive moves, furniture dismantling and reassembly, porterage, move day supervision, on-site project management, and temporary or long-term storage. This upfront investment in preparation is why so many clients return to us again and again.

We understand the real questions behind every move:

  • Will our teams be disrupted?
  • Will the move stay on time and on budget?
  • Have you done this before for companies like ours?
  • Are you fully insured and compliant?
  • Can you work around our hours—even overnight?
  • Are you meeting our ESG and audit requirements?

The short answer: yes, absolutely. Ede’s has got it covered.

We’re proud to be an eight-time winner of the Commercial Mover of the Year Award, including 2025! Our long-standing reputation is built on quality, reliability, and a commitment to doing things properly. We’ve moved blue-chip companies, public institutions, universities, and museums and every move is handled with the same level of care and professionalism. We’re fully accredited, ISO 14001 certified, insured, and ready to work to your schedule, be that overnight, on weekends, or in carefully planned phases.

Frank Tindle, Director of IT and Facilities at Supermassive Games Ltd, who we supported through multiple large-scale office relocations across different sites, puts it best:

“Thank you from myself, Leila, Katie and everyone at SMG. Now everyone understands why we use yourself and Ede’s. Indeed, from the co-owners to the new hires everyone is delighted – as it all just happened (They think by magic but we all know it’s hard slog gets it done). I have worked with Ede’s for over 15 years and through numerous offices moves and numerous companies. I can’t recommend them highly enough.”

Another great example of our work is the recent relocation project for the Victoria and Albert (V&A) Museum. This was not a typical move. It involved 18,000 linear meters of delicate archival material of books and journals that required careful handling, item-level sequencing, and exact unpacking at their final destination. Our teams worked closely with the museum’s archivists to design a phased schedule that adapted to delays, Covid restrictions, and a last-minute flooding event. By providing off-site storage and maintaining a reusable packing loop, we kept the project moving and ensured the integrity of the collection. The result? A smooth transition to two new locations with no loss or disruption, demonstrating both flexibility and precision.

And when it comes to sustainability, we don’t just tick boxes, we make it easy. Our entire fleet runs on Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), cutting emissions by up to 90%. We’ve added electric vehicles, switched all our sites to 100% renewable electricity, and operate a strict zero-to-landfill policy. Our ESG policies are in place, our RAMS and carbon assessments are ready when you need them, and we’re aligned with the SME Climate Hub’s Race to Zero targets.

We know clients don’t want to chase paperwork or micro-manage the move. That’s why we make it simple: we’ll already have what you need.
