Happy customers
Every customer. Every move. Every time.
“Fantastic service moving within Northern Ireland. Although we probably could have got a cheaper quote from ‘a man with a van’ using a professional services company gave us peace of mind. Excellent crew, timely, efficient and friendly. Would highly recommend. I am using them again in a few days to transport some sofas from Wales, if the crew is as good as these ones I shall be very happy!”
Ms Amy
Belfast to Comber
“We received support & help with the quote, adding insurance, keeping us advised of any updates and progress with the move - it was peace of mind to know that our items were safe and handled with care. Thanks to everyone involved for making it as stress free as possible!”
Ms Sloan
Oxfordshire to Downpatrick
“We have used your company for several moves and have always been more than impressed by the quality of your service and professionalism and friendliness of your staff. I have recommended McGimpseys a number of times and will continue to do so.”
Mr & Mrs Bremner
Singapore to Holywood
“We have moved many times over the years and I can absolutely say that I have never had a better crew. It was a very large move with 5 men and they were nothing but exceptional. Our Personal Move Consultant was very helpful and accommodating, answering all our questions fully and promptly and worked hard to get us sorted in the end. We will most definitely recommend you all again.”
Mr & Mrs Heap
Newtownards to Ballyhalbert
“Thank you to Catriona and her team who helped me with the difficult move from NI to Switzerland. There were many hurdles along the process but at every step Catriona found a solution for me. On both sides the staff packing and unpacking were extremely friendly and pleasant. I would not hesitate to use you again or recommend you to a friend. Thank you again for all the effort and dedication to getting the job done.”
Helen Saunders
Carrickfergus to Switzerland
“The team who came to pack the house contents were absolutely marvellous. Not only were they professional, courteous, helpful and considerate but they were also caring. How many young men and workers could that sentiment be attributed to - very few. We wish all of you continued business and personal success.”
Mr & Mrs McCartney
Groomsport to Brisbane, Australia
“What was a hugely important element in a monumental task of an overseas relocation of 15 years’ worth of family life has been done smoothly and professionally. I cannot overstate how helpful you and your team were during this process.”
Mr Barszczewski
Carrickfergus to Germany
“All McGimpsey Removals personnel were professional in their attitude, appearance and demeanour. They answered all queries promptly and comprehensively. The entire process could not have gone any better and at a more than competitive market rate.”

Mr & Mrs Parry
Warrington to Castlewellan
“100% recommend – fantastic guys, they were brilliant from start to finish. Very professional, helpful and on the day, I had total peace of mind. A big thank you to the staff as they responded well. Overall, it was cheaper than other moving companies and I will happily be recommending you to all my friends and family.”
Ms Muvva

Mr & Mrs Parr
Sussex to Belfast
“Many thanks for completing the pack and load phase of our move to Dubai… your crew were excellent in performing their task… we were quite unprepared for the move, but your team handled everything very well and coped with everything we threw at them.”
Mr & Mrs Girvan
Bangor to Dubai
“The boys were highly professional, had a great sense of humour which helped ease the day and were super-efficient. They obviously knew what they were doing and everything went smoothly. I have used three removals companies in recent years and McGimpseys were by far the best.”
Florence Lynch

“We would like to convey our sincere thanks to McGimpsey's Removals for the great service they provided on our recent full pack and move. Credit and praise must really be given to the crew who were always polite, professional and items were packed to the highest specifications.”

“The attitude, manners, service and co-operation of the delivery crew couldn't have been better. They did a fabulous job and are a credit to your company. Also, thanks to my move consultant – excellent support and communication throughout the whole location process.”
Mr McGuigan

“The TEAM that handled our move over three days were nothing short of exceptional and I have nothing but compliments and admiration for them. They never stopped smiling no matter how many times they were asked to go beyond the call of duty. No wonder they are top of their game!”
