About My Business

Move Managers is more than just a moving company — we specialise in supporting people through some of life’s most stressful transitions. Our approach is grounded in care, competence, and credibility. Whether our clients are moving house, transitioning to retirement living, decluttering, managing an empty or deceased estate, or preparing a home for sale, our experienced team is there to guide them every step of the way. We turn overwhelming, emotional transitions into calm, manageable experiences. What sets us apart is how we work: with empathy, professionalism, and genuine care. We understand that moving isn’t just about boxes — it’s about decisions, emotions, and major life changes. Every job begins with a free consultation and site visit. We take the time to understand each client’s situation, talk through what matters most, and provide a clear written estimate with tailored service options. From there, we coordinate every aspect of the move, downsize, or estate clearance — bringing in our packing team, liaising with removalists, cleaners, gardeners, village coordinators, legal representatives, and more. We draw on trusted community connections — from charities to tradespeople — helping clients save time, money, and stress by leveraging these networks. We know that downsizing and decluttering, especially for older adults, often require emotional as well as practical support. We listen deeply to clients' stories and attachments, helping them decide thoughtfully what to keep, donate, sell, or discard — preserving memories without holding onto the excess. While our core packing and unpacking services remain essential, we’ve expanded over the past 2½ years to offer full-service relocation management, flexible downsizing options, and home sale preparation. This reflects our commitment to adapting to clients’ changing needs and delivering high-touch, personal support every time. Behind the scenes, our team ensures the right resources and materials are in place, with every task seamlessly managed. We keep our clients informed and involved, so they feel fully supported — never sidelined. At Move Managers, our strength goes beyond logistics — it’s about how we do it. Empathy, professionalism, respect, and unwavering reliability are at the core of everything we do. We’ve earned our clients’ trust by going above and beyond, offering practical, personalised solutions during life’s most challenging moments. We’re proud to be a business that not only gets the job done — but makes a genuine, positive difference. That’s why we’ve built a trusted reputation for being reliable, adaptable, and always willing to go the extra mile for our clients and their families.

Why We Should Win The Peoples Choice Award

Why You Should Vote for Move Managers – A Business That Moves More Than Just Boxes Move Managers is a unique, niche business that was born out of personal experience and built to meet a real, growing need in our communities. In 2011, Anna (the original owner and entrepreneurial force behind Move Managers) was working full-time in Hamilton while supporting her mum to downsize and relocate from Northland. She was the only family available to help and helping her mum sort through a lifetime of belongings, pack, move, and settle into a new city was overwhelming — physically, emotionally, and logistically. That experience opened her eyes to how many others must be struggling through similar transitions, often with no help at all. That’s where the idea for Move Managers came from — and why we exist today. We provide a fully managed relocation and downsizing service — a true “walk-out, walk-in” experience. Clients don’t need to lift a finger. We sort, declutter, pack, move, unpack, set up — and ensure everything is ready and livable at the other end. Beds are made. The fridge is on. The TV is working. The kettle’s ready to boil. We fill a critical gap — especially for people who don’t have family nearby, are physically unable to move themselves, or are navigating grief, stress, or life change. Many of our clients say their move simply wouldn’t have been possible without our help. We support older adults, busy families, executors of estates, and those going through transitions like divorce or illness. Our work is practical, yes — but also deeply human. We bring compassion, respect, and warmth to every home we step into. I’m incredibly proud to have taken over the reins of Move Managers when Anna, the founder, retired in 2022. Since then, I’ve continued to grow the business with heart, staying true to its original vision of supporting people through life’s big transitions with empathy and grace. What truly sets us apart is our people. We have a small but diverse, multitalented team who bring with them a rich range of life experiences, personal passions, and exceptional problem-solving skills. They work with initiative, empathy, and care — always thinking ahead to pre-empt our clients’ needs. That intuitive, thoughtful approach is something you can’t train — and something our clients deeply value. We’ve grown steadily and sustainably — not through big advertising budgets, but through word-of-mouth referrals and repeat business. That’s the greatest compliment we can receive - when a client is so happy, they recommend us to their friends, or call us again years later. Relationships are at the heart of what we do, and it shows. We’re also proud to be environmentally conscious. We recycle, donate, and reduce waste wherever possible — and we actively encourage our clients to do the same during the decluttering process. We aim to tread lightly while making a big impact. Move Managers isn’t just a business — for many it’s a lifeline. If you believe in small businesses making a meaningful difference, please vote for Move Managers. We don’t just move belongings. We help people move forward — with care, dignity, and a little less stress.
