WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

1. A dedicated point of accountability, providing guidance and oversight

We work with you throughout the whole move process — from identifying the level of support required, planning and overseeing the move from origin to destination, to any post-move and settling-in requirements, within budget and relocation policy arrangements.

2. A convenient, once-only pre-move survey at a time that suits you

Be it in-person or virtually, our aim is to fit into your schedule. And we only do it once. Our experience means that we can complete an inventory of your effects and give you a competitive, tailor-made quotation quickly and simply.

3. A move price and service choice based on a balance of quality and value for money

Our multiple quotation report lays out your best options clearly, as well as alternative choices, with supporting advice, so that you can select the move options that fit your needs.

4. A competitive but comprehensive lump sum insurance policy

Thanks to our extremely low claim rate, and reputation in the industry, we can secure well-priced insurance for you, with straightforward valuation processes, including as standard:

60 days free storage on any international move
Extra cover for high value items
Full cover for cars and motorbikes
Cover for pairs; in case one of a key set is damaged

5. Expert post-move support

Should you need it, our support doesn’t finish with the move. We know from experience that a successful move isn’t just about getting goods from one place to another. We offer assistance with move services like cleaning, home repair, specialist equipment fitting and settling-in, all appropriate to budget and relocation policy requirements.

Limited goods or short-term assignment moves

Cost, speed, capacity and environmental impact are all key criteria for early career, tighter budget, or short-term moves.

International courier services can be ideal if there’s a small number of items to be moved, or an assignment is for a short period.

Personal effects can be moved using a bespoke package that combines services in keeping with your relocation policy and budget — from packaging, customs and insurance, to inventory and quality checks.

Short or long-term storage solutions

Thanks to Icon’s independence, and longstanding partnerships with the world’s leading storage companies (as well as some of the best but lesser known providers) we can source competitive storage solutions that fit your needs.

We can organise multi and global warehouse storage options, allowing for storage at origin or destination. All our providers offer climate-controlled warehouses, with the highest security and comprehensive insurance.

We can also show you how costs can be managed and quality maintained over time, with a full audit of all storage worldwide.

Pet transportation

Home is where the heart is, and for many that includes a beloved pet or two. Often seen as a member of the family, or a companion, their move needs should be considered, too.

At Icon, your move manager ensures that your pet is 100% ready, comfortable and safe to travel to their new home by checking that the right documentation, vaccinations and pet passports are in place.
