Hey, I'm Angus, and I setup AnyVan back in 2009, with a pretty simple goal to ensure you could always move anything, anywhere - at a fantastic price. Which sounds great, but how do we do it, and how is it different to others?
Imagine someone has to drop off a drum kit in Donington, or a sofa in Salford, and then return empty. About half the miles being driven are actually empty miles. We help our transport partners find extra work on these empty journeys, which means we can also pass on a large saving to you – usually about 40%.
So now we're on a mission to create the world’s most efficient logistics technology, to help halve the number of these wasted miles. And last year, we helped over 300,000 customers move items for less.
We’re committed to being the UK’s most sustainable delivery and removals company. And because we use technology to optimise routes to ensure fewer vans are on the road and more jobs can be grouped together, it means we're vastly reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Our eco-commitment has been at the core of everything we've done, and so far we've saved 47,494,078.2 km - that's just over 1,185 times around the world!
We're also proud to be the only carbon-neutral removals and delivery company in the UK, saving 8,520 tones of carbon annually. But we're also constantly working towards a greener future, with an aim to support our drivers in the uptake of electric vehicles to become a truly zero emission platform by 2040.
And if you want to know more, I joined moving expert Phil Spencer to explain how AnyVan was created with sustainability in mind.
Our impact goes beyond our technology. At the end of the day, we're a people business, in the business of moving items that we know are highly important to our amazing customers. Whether it's that old arm chair that's become part of you, your kid's first piano, or your entire home, we always get it (last moving pun, I promise) - this stuff matters.
That's why we never compromise on our service. We only work with the very best local transport providers in your area, ensuring everyone on AnyVan is correctly vetted to delivering, to a high standard.
And our team are always here to talk and help as needed, we're open 7 days a week, and any home removal will also be assigned a dedicated moving expert to be with you every step of the way.
Our commitment to the above is why we've been rated excellent on Trustpilot by 150,000+ customers, and you're welcome to see exactly what they say below:
