Moving app takes off

The Negotiator

The free mobile app, ‘Man & Van’, which launched just three years ago to deliver on-demand transportation, has seen letting agent and landlord enquiries more than double in the last 12 months.

The app enables users to book and pay an independent network of contractors, which now exceeds 3,000 and who bid to win removal or transportation jobs.

Whether moving to a new house or simply transferring or recycling a single item, the app’s services have proved useful to landlords and letting agents looking for house clearances, end of tenancy waste disposal and helping tenants to move.

One regular user, Tony Lanz Bergin, Managing Director of Bergins Estates, said: “We have been using Man & Van since it first started and its fantastic. It enables us to help landlords get their properties cleared and ready for new tenants with very little notice. They also know that we are going to get the best price for them as drivers are competing against others for the job.”

Simon Thompson imageSimon Thompson, Managing Director of ‘Man & Van’, commented: “The business has three key advantages over traditional removal and transportation services: Efficiency (the volume of drivers enables same day delivery), competitive pricing (the choice of quotes and rated drivers can mean cheaper prices and better quality as drivers want the positive reviews) and peace of mind (users are offered 100% refund in the event of a no show).”

‘Man & Van’ already operates across every major city in the UK and Simon has plans to double his pool of drivers by the end of the year.
