Removals Trade Associations

Our aim is to help you find quality businesses in the Removals trade.

There are some excellent Trade Associations in the Removals industry, and their quality marks are a good sign to look for.

Note: Verify membership of any business you plan to trade with, even if they include association quality marks on their paperwork, website or vehicles. Wherever possible you should check with the trade association (many offer an online facility for verifying membership).

Below is a list of Trade Associations we look out for in our members. If a member declares to have membership to one of these Trade Associations we verify it before any quality mark is displayed on this site.
