Karen in the office was always super helpful on the phone and quick to respond to emails. Mark and his team were able to accommodate my move at short notice after months of waiting. On the day, they took great care of all my possessions, not a single thing was damaged and they were so fast. They were very patient waiting until completion of my purchase. They even moved the washing machine that wasn't supposed to be left behind and put mine in its place without me asking. Also did a great job of dismantling and putting together my wardrobe. Cannot recommend them enough, thank you so much for ensuring the moving part of the day was smooth and stress-free!

From start to finish it was a pleasure to deal with the staff at Wards of Olney. I was dividing up the furniture from my late parent’s house amongst the family and so it was complicated day with one load and four separate destinations in and around London. The whole process went without a hitch and the staff involved were friendly and extremely professional. Thank you Mark and all your team.
