What people love about this company
We checked the Trustpilot profile for rating information; the full review count and texts were not read at time of listing.
The Trustpilot profile shows a 4.9 rating but review texts could not be read in full during this verification pass. The company has been registered since 2015 and claims 60 years of trading history. The registered SIC code covers warehousing and storage for land transport, which matches the advertised storage service. The 'since 1960' claim could not be verified against the Companies House record, which is why it sits in the advertised column.

Is Purdie Worldwide Removals & Storage insured?
Purdie Worldwide Removals & Storage advertises goods in transit insurance, but insurance on this listing is an advertised claim, not an independently verified fact. The UK has no public register of removals insurance, so no outside checker can confirm cover from records alone. Before booking, ask for the policy schedule itself: policy number, what it covers, the amount, valid on your moving date. Any firm can say it is fully insured; the schedule is the proof.
Is Purdie Worldwide Removals & Storage BAR registered?
No. Purdie Worldwide Removals & Storage is not a member of the British Association of Removers (BAR); Removal Dude checked the BAR public member directory on 24 August 2026 and found no entry.
