The Move Team

Family-run removals and storage across Bournemouth and the South Coast

The Move Team is an independent, family-run removals and storage company operating from Bournemouth and serving Poole, Christchurch, wider Dorset, the New Forest and surrounding areas. The company presents itself as a local alternative for household and business moves, with services that range from full house removals to packing, man and van, office moves and secure storage.

Its website lists a broad coverage area that includes not only the immediate Bournemouth and Poole conurbation but also towns and villages across the New Forest and the South Coast, such as Christchurch, Ferndown, Southbourne, Verwood, Westbourne, Wimborne, Blackfield, Brockenhurst, Fordingbridge, Hythe, Lymington, Lyndhurst, Ringwood, Romsey, Southampton and Totton. This local focus is central to how the company describes its activity.

Removal services for homes and businesses

The core offer is organised around removal services for different types of moves. The company advertises house removals, long-distance removals, packing services and a man and van option. For commercial clients, it lists office moves, office removals, business removals and commercial removals. The distinction between these categories suggests that the company handles both domestic relocations and business transfers, although the website does not detail the size or complexity of the moves undertaken.

In addition to the removal itself, packing is offered as a separate service. Customer feedback published on the site refers to the packing service being carried out with care and attention, and to furniture being wrapped in protective covers and carpets and flooring being protected during a move. These are practical details that appear in the testimonials rather than in a formal service specification.

Storage services in Dorset and the New Forest

Storage is presented as a service in its own right, with dedicated pages for storage in Dorset, Bournemouth, Christchurch, Ferndown, Poole, Southbourne, Verwood, Westbourne, Wimborne, the New Forest, Brockenhurst, Fordingbridge, Lymington and Ringwood. The company describes its storage as safe and secure, although the site does not provide specifics on unit sizes, access arrangements or security features.

One customer review mentions organising six months of storage as part of a move from Dorset to Hampshire, which illustrates how storage can be combined with a removal. The website does not state whether storage is available on a short-term or long-term basis beyond what appears in that testimonial.

Coverage and local presence

The Move Team defines its operating area through a long list of locations, each with a corresponding removals or storage page. Beyond Bournemouth and Poole, the list extends to Christchurch, Ferndown, Southbourne, Verwood, Westbourne and Wimborne in Dorset, and to Blackfield, Brockenhurst, Fordingbridge, Hythe, Lymington, Lyndhurst, Ringwood, Romsey, Southampton and Totton in the New Forest and Hampshire. This suggests a service radius that covers the South Coast and the western edge of the New Forest.

The company describes itself as local and independent, and the site emphasises its family-run status. No founding date, company registration number or professional association membership is given in the material available.

Customer feedback and reputation

The website includes a review section with numerous testimonials dated between May and October 2026. An AI-generated summary based on 74 reviews states that the service leads to high customer satisfaction, with consistently high-quality offerings and frequent positive feedback. Individual reviews mention punctuality, friendly and professional teams, careful handling of belongings, good communication before and during the move, and competitive pricing. Several reviewers name Peter as the organiser, and some refer to team members by name.

These testimonials are presented as customer experiences and are not independently verified in the material. They do, however, give a picture of the aspects customers tend to highlight: communication, care of furniture and flooring, flexibility, and the handling of stressful moves.
