In the first of a new series of interviews with Industry Innovators, Richard Pegler – Publisher of The Mover magazine and Director of The Movers and Storage Show - talks to David Burrows, Head of Marketplace at Get A Mover.

Richard Pegler: David, tell us about Get A Mover - what is the business all about, what services do you provide, and what principles drive your strategy?

David Burrows: We set out to make moving home easier, clearer, and more trustworthy. That means offering transparency, verified movers, and real-time quotes - all in one place. Our goal is to simplify the moving process for both customers and professional movers.

Richard Pegler: In a growing digital marketplace, what sets your platform apart?

David Burrows: Our marketplace is built around quality, not quantity. We ensure that leads are verified, genuine, and relevant. That way, our movers spend more time delivering and less time filtering. We back this up with transparent comparison tools, real reviews, detailed company profiles, and tailored service options.

Richard Pegler: How does digital innovation play into your service offering?

David Burrows: It’s central to everything we do. From seamless customer journeys to advanced job-matching algorithms, we’re constantly enhancing our digital features. Our customer portals and smart filtering tools ensure both users and movers enjoy a smooth, user-friendly experience. Ultimately, we want every interaction - from enquiry to booking - to feel effortless and reliable.

Richard Pegler: And what does the future look like for Get A Mover?

David Burrows: We’re focused on expanding integrations, improving lead quality, and offering deeper support to movers through better data insights. For us, it’s about creating a better moving journey for everyone involved—and that starts by listening. We’ll continue investing in the user experience while amplifying the voice of the professionals we work with.

Richard Pegler: Final thoughts?

David Burrows: The removals industry is evolving, and we believe the future is digital—but it’s also collaborative, transparent, and people-first. We’re proud to help lead that transformation.
