About Us
Local branch owners are setting a national standard for excellence, leading the industry through innovation and best practices that ensure superior service and quality nationwide.
We’re genuinely grateful for the 2,500+ customer reviews we’ve received—they’re more than just numbers to us. Seeing a 99% five-star rating across 60 branches means we’re earning your trust and living up to our promise of consistent, thoughtful service. Every review inspires us to keep delivering a gentlemanly experience, every time.
We’re proud to see our family at 60 branches strong. From humble beginnings late 2023 its been a fairly growth period but growth means nothing to us unless it’s done right, which is why we get to know every potential branch owner personally before onboard them. We look for people who share our values and genuine passion for caring for customers—those who aren’t just committed to high standards, but truly go the extra mile, every time.
Our story started over 15 years ago with just one man and a single van, determined to do things the right way. That simple beginning taught us the value of hard work and care, and it’s shaped who we are today. We love sharing what we’ve learned—real experience, high standards, and honest advice—with others who want to build something great too.
Winning 19 industry awards means a lot to us—not just as trophies, but as recognition for the hard work and heart we put into what we do. Being named in the Elite Franchise Top 100 and picking up SME News’ Best Removal Business are particularly proud moments that remind us our values and commitment truly matter.
We’re honoured to support the people who look after our communities every day. Partnering with Defence Discount Service and Blue Light Card gives us the chance to say a heartfelt thank you. These exclusive discounts are our small way of giving back to those who protect, serve, and care for others across the UK.
Serving over 10,000 customers isn’t just a milestone—it’s a privilege we don’t take lightly. Knowing we’ve kept a 99.9% five-star rating makes us incredibly proud, but it’s really about the trust you put in us. Every move matters, and our team’s care, professionalism, and attention to detail are how we show that, every time.

The Growth of “Your Man With A Van”
Early 2020, the business was continuing to grow incredibly well and having met my life partner and now Co-Director Catriona (Cat), the idea came up to evolve into a nationwide network.
Your Man With A Van was already well established in Hertford, why couldn’t there be one for every town in the UK?
Plus the name is an ideal title for a national brand. Lots of “Friendly Local Movers”

What Next?
Over the next 7 years, I had so much fun and plenty of adventures. Of course, there were a few tricky manoeuvres, the occasional drives to Spain, but my favourite part was meeting so many wonderful people.
By late 2019, Your Man With A Van had served over a thousand customers and travelled more than 150k miles.
But what next?
2012
Dad Knows Best
My parents ran their own businesses, my Mother, a Jeweller, and my Father a Garden Machinery supplier.
Seeing me helping my friends with my van, my Dad asked if I would deliver a Lawnmower to one of his customers.
Following this, Dad suggested I make a business out of using my van. I loved meeting and working with people and I was a complete perfectionist too. And so Your Man With A Van was born.

My First Van
So it all started back in 2010. I was at University studying for a Music degree and I loved being a part of music events. What started as a small disco setup soon needed a van for transport!
My trusty van also came in handy as fellow students, friends and family asked me to help out when they were moving home or needing to pick up a large item or two.
