Panah Movers were a great support and met my expectations. Communication, accommodating my changes and professionalism. Knowing how to tighten the washer/dryer and both dismantle/put together my kids' bunk bed was my concern and they got it right. I highly recommend them and will use them in future.

They were honestly brilliant. From the moment they arrived, the team was professional, friendly and clearly knew what they were doing. They took great care with all my belongings, worked efficiently, and made the whole process way less stressful than I expected. Everything was packed, moved and offloaded without any issues. Nothing was damaged, nothing was rushed - just solid, reliable service. It’s rare these days to come across people who genuinely take pride in their work, but these guys did. I’ll definitely be using them again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a moving company that gets the job done properly.
