We are proud to adhere to our fundamental principles…. We are People moving People. ## Statement of Scope Galleon International is more than a domestic and international mover, we are a Global Move Management Company working exclusively within the corporate and private sector. As a professional organization we are dedicated to providing a world class service based on our core ethical values of reliability, and consistency. Our customer focus approach sets us apart in the relocation industry as we continue to strive to be the preferred supplier in the marketplace. Established in 1980’s, we have been purely focused on the removals service of household goods and personal effects domestically, and internationally, with containerised storage, and freight forwarding via air, road and sea. Working with clients from a wide range of global industries, an overseas relocation can be complex and leaves no room for error. Our priority is to provide the most seamless and comfortable experience, guaranteeing value for money. Whether you are an international organisation juggling the relocations of your valuable employees, a family moving home locally or to another country, or a relocation company with partnering international agents, we have the removal experts to whom you can trust, with a tailored move management service covering all your requirements. We understand that transporting household goods and personal effects door to door is only part of the relocation process. Therefore, we work hand in hand with our trusted key partners – G.A.I.N. (Galleon Approved International Network) including major global relocation, shipping, and haulage companies, allowing us to guide and support our clients through the full start to finish, door to door or part relocation process. #### For more information on our FIDI accreditation, [click here.](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/blog/faim-certification-business-relocation) ## Free Virtual Survey ### Cost Estimate from a Video Call Book a video call to get the process started.

There was lots of communication all the way through with emails and calls being replied to very quickly. The price was very favourable compared to other local removal companies. The team that did the removals worked so hard, and they were a nice bunch of chaps too. They arrived on time, hardly took a break and got the job done quickly, very professionally and with good humour. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and would certainly use them again if required. ![quote](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/icons/quote.webp) Oct 2022 ![quote](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/icons/quote.webp) Communication was clear at every step of the process.

Thank you Galleon. ![quote](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/icons/quote.webp) April 2023 ![quote](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/icons/quote.webp) I would like to thank Galleon International Shipping Co.

What a excellent delivery service - things in order and on place! Thank you. My house now feels like a home, I am ever happy and grateful. Amalia Candido Stringhini, Great Shelford, Cambridge, UK.                          ![quote](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/icons/quote.webp) January 2024 ![quote](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/icons/quote.webp) Excellent team, great company, outstanding packing. They do what they say and say what they do. Everything, including art and very fragile objects arrived perfectly. They are surely worth the money. ![quote](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/icons/quote.webp) April 2024 ![quote](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/icons/quote.webp) We had movers show up two days in a row and both crews were outstanding! They took great care unloading our belongings and made a stressful time easier to manage. I would highly recommend Galleon-International. ![quote](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/icons/quote.webp) April 2024 ![quote](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/icons/quote.webp) From the beginning, the moving company staff was very attentive and willing to solve any doubts, in very short terms. The material was very well packaged. The delivery was made within the stated period and the change, at first, arrived without apparent damage. I say in principle because it was my choice that the people who brought the material did not empty the boxes, as there was not enough space at home for the material received. So far I am fully satisfied with the whole process. ![quote](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/icons/quote.webp) May 2023 ![quote](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/icons/quote.webp) *Moving from the USA to the Uk could not have been better managed - from day one Galleon -Amanda was there to assist with everything from HMRC requirements to Storage and ultimately scheduling the Delivery 3 months later - the Galleon team who re-united us with our USA belongings were simple fantastic, nothing was too much trouble they were already well drilled and efficient but all of it was done with quality and pride paramount, and not to forget all of this was done with a smile on their faces. Galleon are definitely a company we would recommend for UK or International Removal Services* ![quote](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/icons/quote.webp) September 2024 - ![logo-1](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/logo/logo-1.webp) - ![logo-2](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/logo/logo-2.webp) - ![IAMX-logo](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/logo/IAMX-logo.webp) - ![PAIMA-logo](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/logo/PAIMA-logo.webp) - ![investors-in-people-logo](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/logo/investors-in-people-logo.webp) - ![logo-7](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/logo/logo-7.webp) - ![logo-8](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/logo/logo-8.webp) - ![logo-9](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/logo/logo-9.webp) - [![FIDI Logo](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/FIDI%20Logo.png)](https://youtu.be/2BucdRecAdA) - [![FAIMPLUSLogo-simple no text-Color](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/FAIMPLUSLogo-simple%20no%20text-Color.jpg)](https://youtu.be/2BucdRecAdA) - - ![logo-1](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/logo/logo-1.webp) - ![logo-2](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/logo/logo-2.webp) - ![IAMX-logo](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/logo/IAMX-logo.webp) - ![PAIMA-logo](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/logo/PAIMA-logo.webp) - ![investors-in-people-logo](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/logo/investors-in-people-logo.webp) - ![logo-7](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/logo/logo-7.webp) - ![logo-8](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/logo/logo-8.webp) - ![logo-9](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/logo/logo-9.webp) - ![FIDI Logo](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/FIDI%20Logo.png) - ![FAIMPLUSLogo-simple no text-Color](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hubfs/FAIMPLUSLogo-simple%20no%20text-Color.jpg) - ## Latest From The Blog ### At Galleon International ![A vibrant image of the Toronto skyline with the CN Tower, symbolising a potential destination for those considering a move from the UK to Canada.](https://d37oebn0w9ir6a.cloudfront.net/account_45763/relocating-from-the-uk-to-canada-what-visa-do-you-need_6c5675a74c9de327046b58c569629977.jpg) March 2025 ### [Relocating From The UK To Canada: What Visa Do You Need?](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/blog/visa-uk-to-canada-relocation) Canada is one of the most beautiful and diverse countries on earth, with the added benefit of being an open and tolerant society with exciting opportunities for British expats.
