Who we are and what we do
Compare My Move is a comparison service founded in 2012 for UK movers to compare and connect with moving industry professionals they can trust.
Having come from a removals background, we started comparing removal companies for home movers and quickly added surveying and conveyancing as additional services. With more services on the way our mission is to become the home of moving home. We’re building the best network of verified partners from local trusted professionals, whilst saving home movers time and money on moving services and becoming a recognisable brand within our industry and beyond.
To help us meet our mission goals we are always on the hunt for the best people in their fields to help champion our business.
At Compare My Move we encourage everyone to take ownership of their own role, enabling you to develop original strategies and ideas. We offer a collaborative work environment where everyone is challenged while having a flexible approach to managing workloads.
We are proud of the success we’ve had to date and are now looking to take the business to the next level. There’s never been a better time to jump on board to help us get there and share in the rewards.
