Restore Harrow Green

As we move into 2025, the commercial relocation market continues to evolve rapidly, shaped by innovation, sustainability demands, and customer expectations. At Restore Harrow Green, we are excited to embrace these changes while reinforcing our commitment to delivering specialist relocation services across the commercial, life science, and heritage sectors.

With an expanded service offering, new team members, a growing electric vehicle fleet, and strategic partnerships, we are well-positioned to support our customers’ needs in the year ahead.


We have achieved some great things in 2024, including;

  • Completing the largest laboratory move in Europe, that saw us recruit and train a team to support this,
  • Achieving a HTA licence and opening our first Biobank in Cambridge,
  • Opening our new branch in Oxford,
  • Achieving EcoVardis Bronze,
  • Reduction in the number and incident rates in RIDDOR and other lost time incidents,
  • Training programmes designed specifically to support our specialist work in commercial, heritage and life science relocations.
  • Working closer with our customers to offer the services they need.

Expanding Services to Meet Customer Needs

 

The demands on businesses today are more complex than ever. Whether managing a laboratory relocation, a commercial office move, or the intricate handling of heritage items, our customers require specialist solutions that deliver precision, care, and efficiency.

In 2025, we are focused on offering even more services to our customers, ensuring we meet the growing demands of the market. From temperature-controlled laboratory relocations to bespoke logistics for heritage artifacts, Restore Harrow Green continues to set the standard for excellence in the relocation industry. In 2024, we opened a new branch in Oxford, this was a goal for us to complete our golden triangle presence. We also opened a biobank and disaster recovery service from our Cambridge branch.


Increasing Our Electric Vehicle Fleet and ESG Focus

 

Sustainability remains a cornerstone of our business strategy. At Restore Harrow Green, we recognise the importance of reducing our environmental impact while delivering exceptional service.

  • In 2025, we are continuing to grow our electric vehicle fleet, helping to reduce emissions and improve the efficiency of relocations across the UK, 20% of our fleet is now electric.
  • We continue to use technology to monitor and improve our vehicle usage and have invested in revisions to our invertor vehicles to support the transportation of life science freezers and samples. We have also achieved and maintained our FORS Silver accreditation.
  • Our commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives ensures we are not only meeting customer expectations but actively contributing to a cleaner, greener future.

From implementing sustainable practices during relocations and clearances to partnering with customers on their ESG goals, we are proud to lead the way in delivering environmentally responsible relocation services.


Preserving the Past: Heritage Relocations

 

In the specialist heritage relocation market, our team continues to demonstrate its expertise in moving heavy and delicate heritage items with precision and care. Using advanced equipment, specialist training for our teams and bespoke handling techniques, we ensure valuable historical artifacts and cultural items are preserved for future generations. With our specialist heritage storage facility in the Midlands, more customers are working with us to ensure their precious collections are looked after.

This focus on excellence has earned Restore Harrow Green a reputation as a trusted partner for museums, libraries, and heritage institutions across the UK.


A Stronger Team for a Stronger Future

 

2025 will see us welcome several new team members who will bring diverse skills and experience to our organisation. This investment in talent ensures we can continue to deliver exceptional service, innovation, and value to our customers in 2025 and beyond.

As we look to 2025, Restore Harrow Green remains committed to being at the forefront of the commercial, life science, and heritage relocation markets.
