Experts In Worldwide Moving Services.

Our success is based upon having an outstanding team of International Move Management Specialists, many with over 20 years of The Moving Company experience. With this level of expertise, we specialise in relocations to both mainstream and unusual destinations, where local conditions and regulations can be challenging. This expertise has made us extremely popular within the diplomatic community, most recently managing large relocations into Israel, Kenya, and Argentina.

Our team understand that moving internationally is an anxious time and help is often needed to make life easier. We don’t forget about you the moment your shipment leaves our shores. Quality lines of communication are maintained for the full ‘lifetime’ of each individual relocation. Our objective is to ensure that you start living at your new home before our job is done.

Worldwide Connections.

As a FIDI Global Alliance member we can choose from a selection of the world’s best moving companies, to provide clearance and delivery services at your destination.

Of course we can’t do it all on our own. As a member of the FIDI Global Alliance we can choose from a selection of the world’s best moving companies, to provide clearance and delivery services at your eventual destination. All FIDI members must meet the FAIM quality standard, the only independently audited quality standard in the international moving industry.

These international moving companies are not strangers, we have been working closely with them for many years. Once we understand your needs, we will match you with the most appropriate service partner for your destination. Alternatively, some of our experienced international customers may ask us to work with their own preferred destination service provider, based upon previous moving experiences.

Global Memberships & Accreditations.

The Moving Company has long established memberships with the best moving industry associations worldwide, and is proud to have achieved prestigious accreditations in the international moving industry.

Shipping Service Options.

Depending on your timing, needs and budget we have a variety of service options available for your forthcoming international move.

Your Own Exclusive Container

You will have the exclusive use of your own 20 or 40-foot shipping container. Depending on circumstances these can often be loaded and sealed at your residence and delivered straight to port. This is a direct service with the shortest possible transit times.

Sharing a Container

If you are taking a smaller shipment or happy to share, we can offer you a ‘groupage’ or LCL shared container. This is cost effective as you only pay for the space you use. While transit times can be longer, we generally get a shared container away quickly, due to our high traffic volumes to most global destinations.

Air Freight

Moving personal effects by airfreight is a popular option if you need everything in double quick time. To speed up their settlement process many families will take a small air freight shipment, (with their essentials) while they wait for the bigger volume, by sea.

Small Shipments

If you only have a few items of unaccompanied personal effects to send overseas, (generally luggage or boxes), we can still arrange, ship, and deliver these worldwide. This service is often used for sending goods to family, students, and friends or by single people moving overseas to work.
