Allied Pickfords (UK & UAE)

UK household-name mover with direct UAE operation. Sea and air freight.

Allied Pickfords is the UK arm of Allied Van Lines and has direct UAE operations, which means you get one company managing both ends of the move rather than a UK firm handing off to a UAE partner.

Best for sea-freight shipments of a full household (4-6 weeks typical). For smaller moves (solo relocator, 1-bed flat) you might get cheaper quotes from MoveOne or SIRVA.
