Record attendance, an expanded exhibition, increased energy – these all contributed to the 2025 Movers & Storers Show proving to be a “Landmark Year” for networking, innovation and sector growth.

The Movers and Storers Show, held this year on 18 and 19 November at NAEC Stoneleigh in Warwickshire, has now firmly cemented itself as the “must-attend” gathering for the UK’s removals and storage industry.

Show owner and organiser Richard Pegler reports: “This year’s Movers and Storers Show was the best-attended and most strongly supported edition of the show to date. The energy, the vibe, the innovation, and the quality of conversations on the floor have taken the event to a new level.”

The 2025 event delivered record attendance, an expanded exhibitor base, and a level of energy that many described as “the most positive, future-focused and fun the show and sector has felt.”   According to Richard, “2025 was our best-supported show to date, there was a real buzz from the moment doors opened to the final seminar on day two.”

The Show welcomed a visitor profile that was packed with senior decision-makers, directors, operational heads, and buyers with real budget responsibility. Attendees arrived with clear intent - seeking innovation, new fleet and equipment solutions, operational efficiencies, and new partnerships that will shape the next 12 months of industry progress.

A buying audience
In addition to the general euphoria around the show, there was a common thread in the feedback from exhibitors - that the quality of conversations were purposeful and qualified, which will lead to a higher conversion rate of those enquiries.

As well as exhibitors reporting plenty of enquiries to follow-up on, there was business done on the show floor too. Vehicle specialist Allport Group reported a sale within the first 90 minutes of the show opening.

Exhibitors widely praised both the decision-making authority and the readiness to invest shown by this year’s visitors.

One supplier remarked: “We’ve never seen so many decision-makers come through in a single day. People weren’t just browsing, conversations were meaningful.”

Another added: “The show exceeded every expectation. We closed deals on the stand and booked follow-ups with companies we’d been trying to reach for months.”

First-time exhibitor success
For first-time exhibitor Central Nest, the show delivered standout results. Victoria Papathanasiou, said, “Thank you so much for this incredible support and for creating such a perfect launchpad for us! We mean every word of that. The Movers and Storers Show truly is the heart of the industry, and the energy and forward-thinking conversations we had at our stand proved it.”

Co-owner, George Makrydakis added: “The show was invaluable for us.”

Their comments echoed a theme felt across the event: TMSS 2025 didn’t just connect businesses - it accelerated them. And that is the goal of the organisation’s team ...
