People sometimes ask why an engineering manager ended up running a removals company. It is a fair question. The careers look unrelated from the outside — meetings and roadmaps on one side, vans and furniture on the other.
I started 6 Days Logistics Group because I cared about how work gets done when the stakes are real — and moving house is about as real as it gets for most people.
What I Learned Leading Teams
Before removals, I spent years managing engineering teams. The work was technical, but the hard parts were human: trust, clarity, preparation, and catching small problems before they became crises.
The teams that succeeded were rarely the loudest or the fastest. They were the ones who communicated properly, planned honestly, and treated responsibility seriously.
I did not have a spreadsheet that said “start a logistics company.” I had a growing sense that those same instincts mattered in a industry where customers often felt powerless on one of the most stressful days of their lives.
What Frustrated Me About Moving
Like most people, I had moved before. I knew the gap between what customers expect and what some firms deliver — vague quotes, poor communication, belongings treated as anonymous cargo, surprise costs on the day.
It felt like a people problem dressed up as a transport problem. The van was the visible part. The experience was decided long before anyone opened the tailgate.
I believed a removals company could be run differently: written quotes, proper planning, crews trained to communicate, and homes treated with respect. Not as a slogan — as the default way of working.
Building 6 Days Logistics Group
I founded 6 Days Logistics Group to build that company — starting from Birmingham and the Midlands, serving customers across the UK with home removals, office relocations, packing, storage, and house clearances.
The lessons from my previous career did not arrive as a framework on day one. They showed up in decisions: how we quote, how we respond to enquiries, how we plan between booking and moving day, and how we train people to talk to customers when the pressure is on.
I am still learning. Every move teaches something. But the direction has not changed — do the invisible work, tell the truth early, and remember that customers will forget how quickly you carried a box before they forget how you made them feel.
Why the Name and the Standards Matter
Customers are inviting strangers into their homes and offices. That is an act of trust. I take that seriously in a way that comes from standing in other people’s hallways and knowing how much the day matters to them.
If you want the fuller reflection on how my two careers overlap, read what moving house taught me about leading teams. For practical signs of what good removals look like, read what nobody tells you about moving house or how to choose a removals company.
What I Hope Customers Feel
I hope you feel informed before you book, supported when plans change, and looked after on the day — not processed. Whether you choose us or another firm, that is the standard I think the industry should normalise.
If you are planning a move and want to talk it through with someone who built a company around these principles, I am always happy to have that conversation. No hard sell. Just an honest discussion about what you need.
