Insurance

Insurers run on trust, sensitive data and uninterrupted service. When you move office or reconfigure a workplace, none of that can slip. Records stay secure, systems stay live and customers never feel the difference. That is the standard we have delivered for insurance clients for more than 40 years.

Business Moves Group is the UK's largest independent specialist in commercial relocation and workplace change. We plan and deliver office relocation, IT moves, furniture management and storage for insurers of every size, from a single-site refurbishment to a phased move of several thousand colleagues. We work as an extension of your team rather than a one-off supplier, which is why most of our work comes from clients we have supported for years.

We are the long-standing moves and change partner to some of the best-known names in insurance, including Aviva, Allianz and Legal & General.

Relocations planned around business continuity

An insurance move stands or falls on planning. We map every phase around your operating hours, your busy periods and your compliance obligations, then deliver out of hours and across weekends where needed to avoid downtime. Dedicated move managers, clear colleague communications and move champion support keep your people informed and productive throughout. For Aviva, our partner since 2013 across around 20 sites in the UK and Ireland, that has meant everything from day-to-day moves and changes to major relocations, all delivered without disrupting customer service.

Secure handling of data and IT

Insurers hold some of the most sensitive customer data of any sector, so chain of custody matters at every step. Our specialist IT relocation teams decommission, transport and recommission servers, desktops and AV equipment, with pre- and post-move testing to minimise downtime. Data-bearing equipment is asset-tagged and tracked throughout, our vehicles are GPS-tracked, and our crews are fully employed, trained and security-checked. Nothing is handed off to an unknown subcontractor.

Workplace change that supports your ESG goals

A relocation is a chance to cut cost and carbon at the same time. We take a circular-first approach, reusing, refurbishing, redeploying and donating furniture and equipment rather than buying new, and we report the carbon, cost and reuse outcomes so they feed straight into your ESG reporting. Our proprietary platform, AssetLOOK, gives you a single, secure view of every asset across your estate, including its location, condition, value and carbon impact. Our carbon reduction plan is externally verified.

International support

Many insurers operate well beyond a single market, so when your footprint crosses borders, ours does too. We are a member of the Office Moving Alliance, a network of vetted relocation specialists covering more than 30 countries and 350 markets worldwide. Through it we can coordinate moves across your international estate to the same standards you get from us in the UK, with one point of contact and consistent delivery wherever your offices are.

A self-delivered service you can hold to account

We deliver our core services ourselves, with our own people, vehicles and equipment, and no reliance on subcontractors. That means one point of contact, consistent standards across every location and direct accountability for the result. We hold ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certification and operate from facilities across the UK, in Reading, Leeds, Warrington, Halesowen and Glasgow, giving you national coverage from a single partner.
