Our story

Family-run removalssince 1979

At Colemans Removals, we understand that moving isn't just about transporting boxes—it's about moving lifetimes of memories and transitioning businesses into bright new futures.

Colemans
Who we are

A family firm you can move with

Our story began in 1979, founded by Ken and Carol Coleman. In those early days, Ken hit the road in our very first removal vehicle while Carol managed the day-to-day office operations straight from their family home. Driven by a deep commitment to exceptional service and hard work, a passion for the trade was sparked that would carry through generations. As soon as he was old enough, Ken and Carol welcomed their son, Philip Coleman, into the family business. Having grown up learning the industry from the ground up, Philip now proudly leads the company, maintaining the exact same core values his parents built nearly five decades ago.

From Humble Beginnings to a Modern Fleet

What started as a modest, home-run operation has steadily grown to meet the needs of our expanding customer base. Today, Colemans Removals boasts a modern, fully equipped fleet of specialized removal vehicles, multiple secure, fully containerised warehouses for short and long-term storage, and a dedicated, central office team.

While our capabilities have expanded, our regional footprint has too. From our roots in East Anglia, we now seamlessly manage home and business removals across the entire UK, alongside direct, door-to-door European removal services. For those moving even further afield, our reach extends globally. We provide a comprehensive worldwide shipping and export wrapping service capable of handling anything from a single precious item or a shared part-load container right up to dedicated full container loads, connecting you to destinations all across the globe.
