Our Mission
At Compare My Move, our mission is simple: to help you with every step of the moving house journey.
Based in Cardiff, we connect UK home movers with our network of verified conveyancers and solicitors, regulated surveyors, removal companies and storage providers saving you time, money and stress throughout your move.
In the process of helping over 1 million UK movers, we also help our network of professionals connect with the movers looking for their services, boosting their work and growing their profit.
The Compare My Move story
Compare My Move was founded in 2012 by Dave Sayce and Marc Benger after 30 years of working in the removal and storage industry. Both passionate to create a product that helped both the mover and the removal company, Compare My Move was born with a strong emphasis on digital presence.
After setting up their own removal company in 2009, they noticed a gap in the market. They created a business model that allowed users to compare quotes from a network of verified removal companies and provide a lead generation service for the companies at the same time.
10 years later and we’ve grown from a team of 2 with 1 service, to a strong team of over 20 creative individuals, 5 departments and 4 services. The first expansion came in 2018 with the launch of our surveying service and conveyancing came not long after in 2019.
The year 2022 saw Compare My Move hit some important milestones. Not only did we launch our 4th service, storage, but our partner network hit the 500 mark. We also grew our team by almost 50% in the past year alone!
With plans to launch even more services in 2023, Compare My Move’s goal is to save you time, money and stress on every stage of your moving journey.
