Hadley & Ottaway
Founded in 1928 by Jack Hadley and Herbert Ottaway our company has a long history of removals in East Anglia. With a single van Jack and Herbert offered a domestic removals service around Norwich. More than a decade later the company offered its growing fleet of box vans to the war effort transporting RAF pilots and their equipment from Norfolk to Lincolnshire.

In the 1970s the company was bought by Leo Palmer, who diversified into haulage but the company was later sold again and in 2004 a management buy out led by myself resulted in the company being relocated to purpose-built premises in the heart of Norfolk.

Superb moving experience, great crew and done the job comprehensively.....could not fault them. Would also thank the company for being so flexible re moving several moving dates due to properties falling through etc.
Well done to you all.... we would certainly use again....but hopefully never moving again.

We recently used Hadley & Ottaway to move us from Watton to West Norfolk and they were absolutely great. Their price was very competetive and their service was 1st class from start to finish.

I had an upright Yamaha black gloss piano moved from a second floor apartment. A rep from the company came to look at the location and piano and quoted me accordingly. The team sent on the day included members of ad-hoc staff who otherwise have unrelated jobs. The piano was neither covered or secured so the piano keyboard cover kept opening. Whilst taking the piano down the second flight of stairs the piano was dropped onto a step and the veneer ripped from the instrument. Granted the company sent the piano to approved repair specialists to have it repaired but this was a timely process and when

Very unprofessional and extremely rude staff. Company parked their removals van and blocked our driveway exit. No decency to knock and ask if they could do this and when we asked them to move they said no and would be 4 hours!
I telephoned the Head Office and they refused to listen.
Terrible company and would never use them.
