Moving your business to a new location requires a dedicated and specialised team. Elliott’s staff are experienced in business relocation and will ensure your move is minimally disruptive and stress free.

When you relocate your business, you move more than furniture. IT equipment and servers, warehouse shelving, fine art and sculptures, and machinery, all require specific consideration and treatment. However, when you choose Elliott, you choose over 7 decades of office moving experience.

What you can expect when you move with Elliott

Our clients stay within budget and know what to expect during the various stages of their move. All projects therefore start with a comprehensive site evaluation and custom quote. You will also be allocated a project manager who will work closely with you and ensure your requirements are fully met.

Our teams are trained and efficient in the safe packing and handling of office goods and equipment. Additionally, our vehicles are fully equipped with air suspension, tail lifts and tracking devices to make sure that even the most delicate equipment is transported safely. On arrival at the new location, sit back and relax as we reassemble your furniture and place it precisely within the space it was planned to be.

When families move, they move more than people, boxes, and bags. Elliott understands that moving people is about moving lives. For this reason, our trusted partners will offer their support and advice on schools and location amenities and getting your finances in order in your new location.

Office Relocation Services

When moving to a new business location, we advise planning your IT infrastructure well ahead of time. Your new location must have reliable long-term access to internet, especially if you require internet access for certain business operations to function optimally. An internet service provider can assist you with internet accessibility and provide the specifications of the service that will be available to you at your new location. Cabling is also often overlooked and can cost a small fortune if not handled correctly.

The proper setup of components such as computers and printers is a specialised service that requires the assistance of an IT professional. Your IT company should reassemble and connect these components when cabling, furniture, and shelving has been installed. Larger sites will likely require the installation of cabinets that house cabling, telecommunications, and server equipment.
