In our decades of operations, we have successfully completed just about every move imaginable. From goods worth over 7 figures moving around the world, to local moves with just a few items, Matthew James has become cemented as the tried and true premium removals company.
That’s why, when it comes time to hand over your goods at destination, we ensure to only hand them over to people we trust, meaning you too can trust them.
We will only work alongside companies who share our ethos and our dedication to making a move happen safely, swiftly and with no hidden fees.
With us entering our fourth generation of removals experience, we combine personal service with the expertise needed for moves between Hong Kong and the UK. From your first survey to final delivery, you’ll have a dedicated team on hand to keep everything organised and answer your questions along the way.
We provide a free survey in order to build a bespoke quote tailored to your requirements. We can either visit you in person at your home, or if you prefer, we can conduct a virtual survey online.
Upon your first contact, you will be allocated your own Move Manager who will oversee your move from start to finish. This gives you a personal touch and helps you with anything you may need along the way.
With Ann, in her 80s, completing day-to-day quality assurance checks, Matthew and his sister Rachel as directors overseeing the smooth running of the operation, Owen, Matthew’s son on the frontline in Europe and, finally, Owen’s son Rowan showing a keen interest in trucks, the Matthew James passion is stronger than ever!
We are one of the few companies who can safely say that the vast majority of our work is handled in-house by our own crews. Your move will not be outsourced to the cheapest provider, meaning your move remains in our control, every step of the way.
Moving your belongings thousands of miles to Hong Kong takes more than simply getting them from A to B. Customs requirements, careful packing and the right choice of transport all play a part, which is why our team will help you plan the journey around the size of your move, your timescale and your budget.
Whether you’re taking the contents of an entire family home or a smaller collection of belongings, we’ll recommend the most suitable way to move them and explain exactly what to expect along the way.
Every international move also includes our “Platinum” professional export packing service as standard. This means all of your belongings will be carefully packed & wrapped for the journey and recorded on a detailed electronic inventory. We’ll also guide you through the documentation required for customs and the insurance options available for your move to or from Hong Kong.
At Matthew James Removals we offer regular removals to Hong Kong and from Hong Kong to the UK, throughout the year. From FCL (full container load) to Groupage services, we offer a service to meet your requirements. Our expertise, know-how, local knowledge and our partners across the globe make us the obvious choice for moving to Hong Kong.
Our company has been accredited to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. We are members of IAM (International Association of Movers), the world’s largest trade association for the global removals industry.
All of our depots in the UK and Spain offer fully containerised storage facilities in modern and secure warehouses. Shared-loads are consolidated at our depots in the UK and Spain for onwards transport to all of Europe and even beyond to the rest of the world.
We can arrange a bespoke insurance policy aligned with your Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum service, to ensure that your treasured possessions are covered in the unlikely event of an accident occurring. Please speak to your designated Move Manager who can guide you through this process and advise you accordingly.
Hong Kong is an exciting destination for people looking for new career opportunities, an international lifestyle and a fast-paced place to live. As one of Asia’s leading commercial centres, it attracts businesses and professionals from around the world. Employment opportunities are particularly strong in industries such as finance, technology, logistics, professional services, hospitality and international trade. Hong Kong also offers several visa routes designed to attract skilled professionals and highly qualified workers.
One of the main financial attractions is Hong Kong’s relatively straightforward tax system. Salaries tax is charged using progressive rates, with standard-rate limits that are generally lower than income-tax rates in many Western countries. This can allow professionals to retain more of their earnings, although accommodation and international schooling can be expensive.
Hong Kong is also known for its excellent public transport. The MTR, buses, minibuses, trams, taxis and ferries make it possible to travel throughout the territory without owning a car. Around 11.7 million passenger journeys are made on the public transport network each day, demonstrating how central it is to everyday life.
The lifestyle offers an unusual combination of modern city living and outdoor space. Residents can enjoy world-class restaurants, shopping centres and nightlife while remaining close to beaches, country parks, hiking trails and outlying islands. Hong Kong’s culture combines Chinese traditions with international influences, creating a varied calendar of festivals, exhibitions, food experiences and entertainment.
Its location is another major advantage. Hong Kong provides convenient connections to mainland China and other destinations across Asia, making it an excellent base for international travel and business. For ambitious professionals, entrepreneurs and families seeking a vibrant multicultural environment, Hong Kong can offer a rewarding place to build a new life.
Whether you’re moving to Hong Kong for work, family or a new opportunity, we’re ready to help you get there. Tell us about your move and we’ll provide a detailed quotation tailored to your requirements, with our experienced team on hand from your first enquiry through to final delivery.
