Very good one! Top quality service. James and the team work exceptionally well together, packing, lifting and moving with expertise and ease. Their portable lifting service with gerald the Giraffe is just what you need to make your move easy. The Giraffe.. a very specialist piece of kit that was used to lift our furniture out of our flat and it was the most outstanding and useful machine ever to be used on any of our moves. Whilst the boss James and his crew were loading the platform from our top floor balcony the hoist operator who was extremely professional and knows how to use his machine

Had James move me from Italy. I can say that he really made it happen. We had a few issues with our property not being ready, he organised storage at the last minute. He then organised the delivery of storage from the uk! All items accounted for for and undamaged! Amazing! Super James Brown!

GB Movers provided an exceptional service. James has a real "can do" approach and professionally moved some large furniture into my house through the upstairs window. He also replied promptly to all correspondence. I would highly recommend GB Movers!

Incapable of fulfilling a shipment. I first moved overseas from the UK in November 2016. I am still waiting for my final shipment of over 2000 pounds of shop fixtures and fittings. I have chased and chased and the owner refuses to even communicate back. These goods have already been paid for.
