Abels, Royal Warrant Holders

Proudly Appointed by Her Late Majesty The Queen

In 1988, Abels Moving Services was honoured to receive the Royal Warrant for Removals and Storage Services, By Appointment to Her Late Majesty The Queen.

This prestigious accolade was awarded following seven years of dedicated service to the Royal Household, beginning in 1981. Abels became the first removals and storage company to be appointed by HM The Queen — a testament to the exceptional standards we uphold in every aspect of our work.

In January 2025, we were equally honoured to be granted His Majesty The King’s Royal Warrant for Removals and Storage Services, enabling us to continue providing ongoing services to The Royal Family, their Households, and Residences.

Royal Warrants are not given lightly. They recognise consistent excellence, discretion, and service that meets the highest expectations. Our appointment was last reviewed and upheld in 2022 — a continued mark of trust from the Royal Household.

A very calm and stress-free move

Professional, responsive, courteous and careful – we just had a very calm and stress-free move using Abels and would not hesitate to recommend them. Every interaction I had with the people in the office and the movers was positive. Thank you Abels for making what is a stressful event, moving house, a very easy day!

Kate Gallaway

Very professional

The end to end service with Abels Removals was carried out in a manner from the initial survey, placing the order, Admin support through to the move itself. The Abels removal team worked tirelessly in order to complete the move on time despite encountering problems at the vendors property. My advise is to place your house in the hands of a professional removals company such as Abels to ensure it all goes smoothly on the day. I have no hesitation in recommending Abels.

Very highly recommended

Abels has assisted me with three house moves over the past ten years, using its storage facilities on two occasions. They are the best. From beginning to end the service provided is superlative. Everything is done with care, courtesy and professionalism and nothing is overlooked. The team on my recent move was quite brilliant and really went above and beyond. Moving house is very stressful and you need the reassurance of an outstanding company like Abels to help ease the process. Very highly recommended.

Paula Aston

Very professional, flexible and organized

Abel’s were great throughout the entire process. The crew were very professional, flexible and organized. They handled all our items with extreme care and delivered in impeccable state. Our move required a lot of flexibility and they made sure they worked around this and not inconveniencing us throughout the process. Very highly recommended. 5-star quality and service. Will not go anywhere else in the future.

Norfolk to Shetland Islands

We were moving from Norfolk to Shetland Islands and chose Abel’s due to their international reputation. Our goods were delivered on a very wet and windy day but all arrived safe and sound after storage. The two men from Abel’s were careful, courteous, cheerful and professional under very difficult circumstances. Our thanks for a complete job well done from start to finish!
