I can't praise Philip and his team enough, they were professional, courteous, friendly, and respectful. They did a great job taking some items into storage for us, helping with packing and a long day moving us from Kent to Suffolk. Of the entire moving process, dealing with Philip from quotation to the day of the move was by far the least… stressful. Not the cheapest, but we had a great feeling about them and so glad we chose them. Thank you so much, and when you bring the rest of our things from storage, I will make sure I get plenty of kit-kats in.

Excellent service! I'd have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Philip Marks. They were professional, diligent and hard working on the day itself and so helpful during the booking process too. We were so impressed with everyone. They couldn't do enough and we're so grateful for all their hard work. A pleasure to deal with, and great value too in my opinion. Thanks so much Philip, Sally, Owen and team! You're superstars!
