Mr SimpsonCrumlin to New Zealand

Moving Crew - Andy Wawrzacz & David Bradford

Just wanted to drop a note to thank you and your team for yesterdays collection. I can't speak high enough about how professional the guys were. Very efficient and conscious of our current Covid situation. They wore their PPE all day and ensured social distancing was maintained. Please pass this on to the guys.

Mrs QuinnManchester to Galway via storage

Moving Crew - Stewart McCrea, David Love, Vaidas Zitkevicius & Richard Duckett

Wonderful service, polite, efficient crew who were very helpful - reassembled the bed base, the couch legs and positioned the dining table carefully where I asked. I was unable to travel to the UK for collection due to pandemic restrictions but great packing service provided in my absence. Would highly recommend this service to anyone!

Ms O'Malley-ReaBangor to Netherlands via storage

Moving Crew - Colin Massey, Gary Lee & Aaron McQuiston

We had an AMAZING experience with McGimpseys. From storage to the actual relocation. The guys were all lovely. The company was great with keeping in contact with emails answered promptly. Nothing was to much to ask. I want to thank everyone for making the relocation less hassle!

Miss BartonBangor to East Sussex

Moving Crew - Martin Pollock, David Love, Craig McGimpsey, Vaidas Zitkevicius & Graeme McPhillips

I moved some furniture from Bangor NI to Lewes, East Sussex. Everybody was more than exceptional. Really nice guys on delivery and wouldn't even stop to have a drink of water! Michael in the main office was so helpful and understanding. Will definitely be using McGimpseys again in the future and have recommended to all my friends and family.

Ms O'ConnorUSA to Portstewart

Moving Crew - Andy Wawrzacz & Christopher Nicholl

I am absolutely delighted with the service provided by McGimpsey Brothers (Removals) Limited - from the very first time I reached out about my transatlantic move through the entire process, I felt extremely well informed and supported and a special word of thanks to Catriona Mann for her prompt responses to my emails and keeping me informed especially during the uncertain times of the Covid pandemic. The entire process, booking the move, online invoicing and payment options, delivery and collection of my U-Crate (from UPakWeShip USA), arranging storage and organising delivery - all went smoothly and took much of the stress out of the move. Thank you so much!

Mr & Mrs MaschlerDonegal to Nebraska, USA

Moving Crew - Martin Pollock & Graeme McPhillips

I can say without reservation the service provided by men sent by McGimpseys at collection was outstanding. Most impressive was the way they carefully wrapped all our items. Overall, they were knowledgeable, efficient, helpful and friendly. We hope and expect that the same will apply upon delivery. Also, I want McGimpseys to know how pleased we were with the service we received from Catriona Mann during the time we were arranging the move. She always responded promptly and was very helpful in all aspects.

Mr McGuiganMexico to Belfast

Moving Crew - Colin Massey, Jack Henderson & William Brown

Colin, Jack and William were superb. Their attitude, manners, service and co-operation couldn't have been better. They done a fabulous job and are a credit to your company. Also, thanks to Ruth - excellent support and communication. Everything went perfectly well today. Please make sure you pass my kind regards onto the team and thank them again on my behalf.

Ms GibneyAylesbury to Newtownards

Moving Crew - David Craig, Graeme McPhillips, Dylan Harper & David Love

I could not find fault with anything in the whole process. Michael Collins listened and understood my requirements. Collection and delivery had all been arranged with me to meet my time frame. From first contact with Michael through to delivery all went as planned. Thank you. FIRST CLASS SERVICE!

Mr GreerBelfast to Essex

Moving Crew - Stewart McCrea & Jack Smyth

I have had some valuable items in storage with you for four years. They were recently shipped and delivered to our new home. Jason Whiteside managed the agreement and was knowledgeable, professional, courteous and very helpful. The delivery men treated the contents, including my father's piano - which to me is priceless - with skill and respect. Everyone has been very helpful indeed.

Mr & Mrs DunneConnecticut to Dublin

Moving Crew - David Spence, James Boyd & Michael Pearce

Wonderful to meet David and the team yesterday. Professional and also a pleasure to work with. Everything done! Delighted we opted to use you for our return from the US, and when we find a house next year we'll be sure to contact you for that move too.

Mr & Mrs ShawEnniskillen to Spain

Moving Crew - William Gowan & Colin Massey

All McGimpseys personnel were professional in their attitude, appearance and demeanour. They answered all queries promptly and comprehensively. Catriona was exceptional in the service she delivered in a time of such global flux and was patient and understanding as the situation involving an international move remained fluid due to Covid-19. Colin (assessor), William and Colin (collection crew) also deserve worthy commendation. The entire process could not have gone any better and at a more than competitive market rate. I would not hesitate in recommending McGimpseys to family and friends and have already done so.

Mr & Mrs SlaterImport from Canada to Newtownards & Somerset

Moving Crew - Daniel Banke & Justin Horner

Everyone we dealt with in Canada and Northern Ireland were terrific. Shirley Stokesberry was truly outstanding and so accommodating to our requests. Not very often you get someone in today's world who goes the extra step. Many thanks to all your staff in whatever capacity they looked after our goods.

Mr & Mrs McCreeryCrossgar to Lisburn

Moving Crew - Warren Cullen, Martin Pollock & Darren Gillespie

I must say that the three guys were amazing, so courteous, pleasant, nothing a problem to them - they are an absolute credit to the company. Please forward this email to the Directors because if it was my company I would be so proud to read it. From my first phone call, and respect to you for following up the enquiry - that's the proper way to get sales. I thank you all involved and would highly recommend your company.

Mr & Mrs ThompsonDromore to Shropshire

Moving Crew - Daniel Banke & Richard Duckett

Daniel and Richard delivered the goods and they were awesome. Both were professional and friendly and worked like absolute troopers, I was impressed with the level of service and I would be happy to use your company again. Our house was pretty fiddly to get to with such a large truck, but your guys were able to get the job done without any fuss. Thank you.

Mrs McCormickLuton to Newtownards

Moving Crew - Vaidas Zitkevicius & Curtis Dickson

From the very first moment I contacted you to the very last moment after my household goods were delivered I was under impression that you truly do care about me and want to accommodate my needs as best as possible. I am very pleased with the whole experience of using your service to move my home from Bedfordshire, England to Co.Down N.I. I have already recommended you to one of my friends who is also moving home from Bedfordshire to the Republic of Ireland. Thanks again - you are brilliant!!!!!

Mr & Mrs BartonBangor to storage in Sussex

Moving Crew - Gary Lee & Dylan Harper

Fantastic move amid the Covid crisis and imminent lockdown. Arrival on collection day a little late but more than made up for that with level of service. We cannot thank you enough for keeping to schedule and getting our furniture to our storage facility the following week as promised. We only wish that you did removals within the mainland as we would certainly use you when we are finally able to retrieve the furniture and move into our future home.

Mr & Mrs HoskinLisburn to Devon

Moving Crew - David Craig & Justin Horner

Just to say thank you for providing such an excellent service organising our move to Devon. In difficult circumstances we really appreciated the support and professionalism shown by you and all your colleagues, expertly packing, organising storage and a special mention to David Craig and Justin Horner who worked so hard to deliver our furniture on a hot day and in a friendly supportive way.

Mr & Mrs SidonioKent to Letterkenny

Moving Crew - Richard Gordon, Dylan Harper, Cahal Gilmore & Andrzej Wawrzacz

Just wanted to thank you (Jason & Michael) and the team for the excellent service we received. It was a big move and from start to finish you have been superb and very reassuring. We are delighted to have received our contents and want to thank the lads at both ends that carried it in and out. Thank you so much and I would be more than happy to recommend you and use you in the future.

Mr & Mrs GibsonEdinburgh to Belfast

Moving Crew - Richard Gordon, Nelson Farrell & Chris Bell

Fantastic service from start to finish. Despite our flat being located in a small gated complex, McGimpseys went out of their way to accommodate this. Everything went as promised. Our goods were collected and received right on time. Many thanks again to Michael for all the help with our move from Edinburgh to Belfast. You made our relocation a lot less stressful. Would highly recommend McGimpseys.

Florence LynchDublin to Australia

Moving Crew - Dylan Harper & David Spence

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. They also went out of their way to ensure that I was happy with the way things were going. I have used three removals companies in recent years and McGimpseys were by far the best.

Ms StrainLondonderry to Birmingham

Moving Crew - Cahal Gilmore & David Spence

Excellent service...the collection staff were very courteous, professional and efficient. They kept me updated on the expected time of arrival for collection of my possessions...good packaging for safe delivery of all items. The delivery staff experienced the same problems as I had done the previous day with issues with the sat- navs instructions in Birmingham. They managed with the challenges professionally, kept me updated and informed on their expected time of delivery and locations. They were very friendly, courteous and professional. Michael who coordinated the whole process was extremely professional and informative at all times. I have relocated on many occasions between countries and the U.K and I would highly recommend your company for value, excellent value for services, guaranteed safe guard of personal possessions in transit alongside utmost friendliness, courteously and professionalism of all your team concerned. Thank you...and I will be using you again if relocating...I will not hesitate in recommending you to family and friends.

Mr & Mrs PulmanDublin to North Carolina

Moving Crew - Martin Pollock, Darren Gillespie & David Spence

The whole team were outstanding- professional in every aspect. Martin, Darren and David were a joy to work with and did an outstanding job on the physical removal. Catriona was pleasant and efficient, providing timely responses and information and was a terrific ambassador for the Company. Having moved about the world frequently it is not an over- estimate to say McGimpseys are the best Removal Company we have used. Thank you.

Cara HollowayBelfast to Newtownards

Moving Crew - Stewart McCrea & David Spence

David and Stewart who moved me today couldn’t have been better. So friendly and helpful and very patient with my son who wanted to help. I would definitely recommend McGimpsey Removals after my experience today and I think the two guys are fab!

David HolmansCarrickfergus to Kent

Moving Crew - Gary Lee, David Love & Vaidas Zitkevicius

Gary and David who were there for both parts of the move were exemplary in all aspects. Prompt and deescalated a stressful time by their cool, calm and relaxed approach to the situation. Vaidas who had just recently started with you, was on collection. He was equally as efficient and polite. All 3 men in my view are a credit to your company and deserve recognition for their approach to 'getting the job done'. Jason was outstanding in his involvement.

Mr & Mrs WittsDonaghadee to Plymouth

Moving Crew - Warren Cullen, Colin Massey & Richard Duckett

Jason Whiteside was our move consultant and we can't praise him enough. This was a very stressful move for many reasons and he went out of his way to make the process run smoothly. Warren and Colin did an exceptional job on collection of our goods. Warren and Richard were fantastic with our delivery. The whole process went without a hitch, so thank you to all concerned for making our move less stressful.

Mr & Mrs FalkinghamAustria to Donaghadee

From my first phone call and to date, the entire staff plus your agents were absolutely brilliant. I would like to make special mention of the service I received from Lauren King. Lauren helped me through a stressful time with her friendly, courteous & helpful manner. At all times she was extremely professional. Thank you Lauren plus thank you also to the friendly voices who answered the phone!

Ms McFaulLondon to Larne

Moving Crew - Cahill Gilmore & Justin Horner

I was very happy and confident that everything would be straight forward from when I spoke with Michael Dunbar at the beginning to discuss the move and would have no hesitation in recommending McGimpseys or in using them again in the future. Thank you to all involved.

Mr NimniBelfast to London

Moving Crew - David Craig, Nelson Farrell, Gary Lee & Darren Gillespie

I want to take the opportunity to say how wonderful your service was. The guys that collected the stuff were really marvellous, everything was well packed and organised. I was very stressed and the guys calmed me down. The packing was excellent, and while I am only half way through the unpacking, everything arrived ok. Also the guys that delivered were brilliant, could you convey to them my appreciation.

Mr & Mrs WhiteLocal move within Bangor

Moving Crew - Darren Gillespie & Curtis Dickson

The removal team were great and worked safely and quickly. It was a very expensive process due to the delay between leaving my house and getting the keys but this is nothing to do with McGimpseys. The cardboard wardrobe carriers were great - even better that I was able to buy several second hand! I know I could have used a cheaper firm but I preferred to go with a company with a good reputation. Thank you!

Mr HulmeLondon to Belfast

Moving Crew - Stewart McCrea & David Love

I was really impressed with McGimpseys in all respects. I received several quotes from different removal companies and McGimpseys was one of the cheapest. The customer service was excellent - all of my emails and queries and quotes were answered quickly (the lack of this service was why I chose to not use another company, who ignored my queries). The actual removal and delivery went without a hitch - on time, done quickly, and both movers were friendly and helpful. I will definitely be using McGimpseys again!

Mr & Mrs WakferCornwall to Newtownards

Moving Crew - Daniel Banke, Graeme McPhillips, Martin Pollock & Dylan Massey

The service we received from Jason and the team has been exceptional. Our belongings were collected from a container yard in the UK and the feedback from the staff there about the McGimpseys team was excellent. Our belongings were delivered to our home in Northern Ireland undamaged and the delivery team were first class. We really appreciated this during a really stressful time and will recommend (and use again) McGimpseys without hesitation. Thank you!!!

Mr & Mrs GirvanBangor to Dubai

Moving Crew - Cahal Gilmore & David Spence

Dear Stephen / Campbell / Peter & Paul, Many thanks for completing the pack and load phase of our move to Dubai. I'd just like to say that your crew were excellent in performing their task. I have to say that we were quite disorganised and unprepared for the move, but your team handled everything very well and coped with everything we threw at them. At no time did they make us feel that we were causing hassle or unnecessary work (although I'm sure we were), and they were very professional and hard working throughout the 3 days. Please pass on our sincerest appreciation. Kind regards, Robert & Theresa Girvan

Miss McCarthyColeraine to Melbourne, Australia

Moving Crew - Daniel Banke & Nelson Farrell

The move was excellently managed and the consultant at McGimpseys was exceptionally helpful and very patient with all my questions and problems. Thank you Catriona. The removal teams were very efficient and helpful both at the collection and delivery end. I used McGimpseys and recommend them again. I used them on a recommendation and have since spoken to several people in Melbourne who have moved from NI with them. All are happy customers.

Mr & Mrs RoebuckWarwickshire to Ballymena

Moving Crew - Dylan Harper, Dylan Massey & Curtis Dickson

Fantastic service right through from booking to delivery. Jason was exceptionally helpful with organising the move and fitting in dates / helping with quantity estimate. The team on both collection and delivery were all outstanding, very courteous and hard working. An excellent service and made what could have been a very stressful experience relatively straight forward. Would definitely recommend and use McGimpsey Brothers for removals in the future.

Mr & Mrs CarsonDownpatrick to Dallas, Texas

Moving Crew - Martin Pollock, Darren Gillespie & Richard Duckett

McGimpseys is an exceptional removals firm. You can tell they have years of experience in providing professional service. Their response times are prompt, they give you options to consider when planning your move, they provide a seamless service from booking through to delivery. BUT the most important piece of their service is their PEOPLE: courteous, professional and friendly, this really matters. In all, we have used McGimpsey Removals 5 times, including 3 international moves - we wouldn't use any other company.

Mrs DevineDublin to London

Moving Crew - Gary Lee, Alan Robinson, Warren Cullen & Darren Gillespie

I was recommended McGimpseys - by Martin Harradine (Harradines Removals UK). They were fantastic from start to finish, it really was not an easy thing clearing my mothers belonging out of her house. It was made easy because McGimpseys were professional, courteous and kind. They couldn't do enough for me and it really is much appreciated. Many thanks!

Miss GrayWarwickshire to Carrickfergus via storage

Moving Crew - Ricky Gordon, Lewis Curragh & Colin Massey

Many thanks to Michael Dunbar who has been so helpful and friendly throughout the whole process from initial quotation through collection, storage and delivery from storage. The men who packed and collected my belongings in England and delivered them to Carrickfergus on Friday did a fabulous job, were super efficient and very friendly and accommodating. I can't thank Michael and McGimpsey's enough for making this process as painless as possible.

Mr & Mrs TraversManchester to Bangor

Moving Crew - Ricky Gordon, Graeme McPhillips, Steven Atchison, Ryan Horner & Dylan Massey

We were very happy with all aspects of our relocation to N Ireland. Jason Whiteside talked us through the process and allayed our concerns about the move. The crew who collected our possessions were so professional and friendly. They inspired us with the confidence needed that our goods would be safely transported to our new home. The delivery crew were very good and cheerfully put things where we wanted them and didn't mind a bit if we asked them to move something again to another room. Overall, we were very impressed with the care and consideration given to the move. Our neighbours at both locations were overawed with the size of the truck!

Mr TarrantSomerset to Ballywalter via storage

Moving Crew - David Craig, Alan Robinson, Andy Smith & Richard Duckett

The experience of the move from Somerset into storage and onwards to my new home in Northern Ireland, undertaken over a period of eight months, was made less stressful by the efficiency and expertise shown by yourself and all the staff at McGimpsey's. To arrange the move from storage to my new house in less than 24 hours, as you did, I thought an extraordinary and welcome effort. This morning the two guys who delivered my furniture and boxes (Andrew and Richard) were prompt, efficient, helpful and friendly; fine ambassadors for McGimpsey. As indeed were the two, (David and Alan), that moved my possessions from Somerset into storage last September. Once again, many thanks.

I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and especially your removal guys for the efficient and speedy move you did for us last week. Please pass on to all the guys that came, our thanks and appreciation for all their hard work. Every one of them without exception was cheerful, professional and a pleasure to deal with. Nothing was too much trouble and they even went out of their way to do things that they didn’t have to in order to help the move. We live in a world where all too often we only get to hear about the complaints our clients have but don’t often get compliments so please thank your staff on our behalf.

Mr & Mrs BlackGlasgow to Holywood

Moving Crew - David Craig, David Love, Martin Pollock & Graeme McPhillips

Very pleased with the whole service provided by McGimpsey's. Top marks to the guys on both collection and delivery, very impressed with how easily and efficiently they were able to lift and move everything - nothing was a problem for crew. We would definitely use McGimpsey's again!

Mr & Mrs WilsonDonaghadee to Dorset

Moving Crew - Gary Lee, Dylan Harper, David Spence & Ricky Gordon

This is just to say how delighted we were with your companies service on our move this week to Dorset. Your guys who packed for us were very hard working, courteous and also had good personalities and a sense of humour. We were very impressed with them and also when they delivered to us here in Dorset. We would not hesitate to recommend your company to anyone. Thanking you for your excellent service!

Mr & Mrs ThompsonBangor to Bangor

Moving Crew - David Craig & Graeme McPhillips

From start to finish our move was handled with the highest standards of professionalism. The packing materials we bought from McGimpseys were top quality. On move day the removal vans that were chosen for our job were an excellent fit for the size of our access driveways and made everything so much easier. The two removal men themselves were an absolute joy. Family and friends helping on the day commented on their professionalism and good humour. They were cheerful, helpful and polite and worked hard and quickly and moved us out of one house and into the other with great efficiency. We were dreading move day but we were stunned how easy using a good removal company made the day. I could not commend McGimpseys highly enough for their excellent service and value for money. Absolutely top notch. Well done and thank you!

Moving Crew - Johnny Lyons, Darren Gillespie & Nelson Farrell

Just wanted to touch base with you following the equipment move yesterday at Ards Leisure Centre and pass on my thanks for a very efficient and professional service. Darren and the guys were brilliant and worked tirelessly in a less than ideal situation to get all the equipment moved for us.

Mrs PattonBelfast to West Sussex

Moving Crew - David Craig, David Spence & Dylan Harper

The men deserved a medal. There was no service lift in the apartment complex and my boxes, which were heavy had to be carried up two flights of stairs. My brother in law found them to be most pleasant men who took it all in their stride. I would recommend McGimpseys to anyone. Many thanks

Mr FernandoLisburn to London via store

Very professional and outstanding service for money. I stored my house content with McGimpsey Brothers for over 5 years and I am pleased to say finally when I decided to move it back to my preferred location, everything was in original condition. The team had taken pride and care in every aspect of removing and storing my expensive household contents. Happy to recommend their service!

Mr & Mrs BlissBallynahinch to Larne

Moving Crew - Gary Lee, Darren Gillespie & Richard Duckett

We really appreciate McGimpseys being able to move us at such short notice and all the interaction we had with your staff was outstanding. We would be happy to recommend your services to anyone.

Miss De PauwBallyclare to Dubai

Moving Crew - Ryan Mawhinney

Ryan was in my house earlier to pack up my bits and pieces. I just wanted to say how impressed I was with his professionalism, knowledge, efficiency and friendly reassuring conversation. If you have an employee of the week/month award, I’d like to put Ryan forward please.

Mr & Mrs ThompsonBangor via storage

Moving Crew - Michael Mortimer & Richard Nelson

We recently used McGimpsey Removals for their removal and storage service. I could not recommend them highly enough. Everything from the quality of their equipment and the friendliness and efficiency of the removal men themselves, to the excellent service provided by the customer service team, has been top notch. They treated all our belongings with utmost care and I was very impressed with their organisation and professionalism. If you want your move to be stress free and handled by professionals McGimpsey Removals should be your first choice.

Mrs TohillNewtownabbey to New Jersey, USA

Moving Crew - Colin Massey & Ryan Mawhinney

I am writing to let you know my shipment has arrived safely. I just want to offer my deepest gratitude to the two amazing men who packed my things. The table my late husband made me was quite fragile and they took their time to pack it carefully. It's arrived in one piece and I am eternally grateful to them and their hard work. Please thank them for me. Your company has been amazing and I couldn't have asked for better service.
