Our CEO, Angus spotted that many vans on the roads are half full or empty at any given time and so AnyVan was born in 2009 to create the world's most efficient technology logistics platform and help halve the number of miles driven.

We've achieved incredible milestones since then, including securing the largest funding round for a UK tech logistics company from Vitruvian Partners. Today, AnyVan is the largest and fastest-growing company in the logistics space, with big ambitions for the future.

We're committed to moving that's miles better and have helped over 8 million customers across the UK, Ireland and Europe (France, Germany, Italy, Spain) and over 150,000 customers have rated us excellent on Trustpilot.

By using innovative technology, we're transforming the moving experience, cutting costs and doing our part for the planet to make sure moving doesn't cost the earth. We've saved enough miles to travel 1,185 times around the world, reduce 8520 tonnes of carbon annually and are proud to be the only carbon neutral removals and delivery company in the UK!!!
