About the Man
From little things big things grow
From humble beginnings, Man With A Van has become Melbourne’s most trusted removals service.
It was in 2001 that the Man With A Van odyssey began. The first Man, Tim, was knocked back for a courier job because of the state of his banged-up old hippie van. Out of desperation he starting posting flyers around TAFE offering student moves.
His willingness to laugh when the lift was busted and lug stuff upstairs for a pittance earned him more work than he could do by himself.
The Man recognised that he was onto something - Melburnians were tired of knuckle-dragging neanderthals and old-fashioned, inflexible removalists. They wanted a smart alternative that wouldn’t break the bank.
In his suburban backyard Tim hatched a plan with his mate James to modernise moving in Melbourne. They roped in their mates, bid farewell to the beloved hippie van, and got to work.
As Man With A Van grew, so too did the needs of their customers. These days the Man can handle an entire family home with ease in one of his modern behemoths, and he also carbon offsets his entire fleet through Greenfleet.
But one thing hasn’t changed - Man With a Van is still manned by masterly movers you could take home to your mum.

Moved by Andre
"Andreas and Hurley did a great job with my move, thanks so much boys! They were careful with my belongings but also got the job done quickly and well under the original quote (~$500 under). They did not muck around which I've had with other removalists. I really appreciated the efficiency and care taken, absolutely would use Man With a Van again in the future."

"Fast, efficient, professional and friendly service. From making the initial enquiry right through to the move itself, they were helpful and accomodating. The two removalist on the day were outstanding, and I was quickly put at ease that my stuff was in good hands. They got the job done ahead of time without compromising the care they took to pack and then deliver everything. Highly recommended."
