Matthew De-Machen, Managing Director of Matthew James Global Relocations, is not your average removals man. In fact he's not your average managing director either. From a very young age he has been fascinated by vehicles and entered the moving industry as a teenager to provide an outlet for his interest.
As his company grew his passion never waned. On the contrary, his obsession with beautiful machinery developed into a similarly all-embracing crusade for perfection in everything he and his company does. It is this dedication to excellence that has made his company successful and his vehicle fleet the talk of the moving industry both in the UK and throughout Europe.

A part/shared load service is a cost effective way to move your goods to and from your destination. The reason this service is so cost effective is that you share the vehicle with other consignments and therefore the vehicle costs are also shared. All consignments are individually prepared, numbered, labelled and inventoried to ensure all items are correctly delivered to you.
The Groupage service is a cost-effective way to move your goods overseas. Costs are contained by sharing the container with other clients' consignments (grouping them together) and sharing the costs. All consignments are individually platinum wrapped, numbered, labelled and inventoried to make sure they can't get mixed up and arrive safely.

We had a terrible experience with this company - we paid over £8000 for two moves one within the UK and one to France. The UK move was a nightmare - things were broken, fridge dinted in a number of places; basically to finish the job our stuff was thrown into our garage include our bed so we had to sleep on the floor. They even used our dryer (a brand new Miele) as storage for wallpaper and metal rods. We took pictures and after the so-called investigation we were told (a) that we must have made up the pictures; (b) their would be no compensation and (c) we should be happy with the great job they

Positive: Professionalism, Responsiveness
Matthew James shipped our belongings from UK to Portugal and once the (brexit induced) paperwork was all sorted the company and staff were excellent. We were kept informed of progress, Katie and the crew (Lee and Christian) were friendly, helpful and took care while delivering. Would definitely reccomend them.

We used Matthew James to move our offices in July 2021. Both our old office and our new office were on the 2nd floor with no lift. We were very pleased with the service we received from Matthew James. They were very careful with everything. Nothing was damaged and the staff were all helpful and polite. They provided packing materials beforehand and also bubble-wrapped all our computers and other fragile items for us on the morning of the move. They made a stressful day much easier!

From first dealings with the company they were responsive and professional. They collected my furniture and boxes from mid France, repacking some items into their boxes and took them to my family for storage in Hereford.
Nothing was too much trouble and Adrien and his partner were superb, going the extra mile at the destination when their large van could not fit down the lane. I was very pleased with the service I received.

From start to finish excellent service! They definitely went the extra mile to deliver a top quality service. We moved from Paris to London and paid for a platinum service that included packing and unwrapping of furniture at destination, honestly the best investment we have made. Everything was wrapped and packed with special care, each and every single item arrived without any damage, which I did not expect from a Paris to London move including a 2-week long storage. The crews were amazing, they arrived on time and they knew exactly what they were doing. Every single person we had contact with
