ABOUT PALMERS RELOCATIONS
Experience shows
in the details.
Palmers manages local, interstate, and international relocations from Sydney and Melbourne,
with experience dating back to 1980.
Behind every move is a team working through what is being moved, how it needs to be handled, where it needs to go and what needs to happen along the way.
Our Story
How Palmers
Relocations began
Palmers Relocations was established in 1980 by brothers Greg, Winston and John Palmer, but the story starts earlier, with their father, a well-known antiques dealer.
Growing up around valuable and delicate pieces, the brothers learned how to move furniture that was often unique, fragile or awkward to handle. Some deliveries were straightforward; others involved tight access, narrow hallways or staircases, careful handling and securing each piece properly for transport.
By then, they had developed a practical understanding of moving: know what is being moved, work out how it needs to be handled, anticipate the difficult parts and prepare properly before anything is lifted. They built Palmers Relocations around that approach, initially specialising in fine furniture and personal effects.
Palmers Today
A much broader
moving business
Today, Palmers manages local, interstate and international moves through an established network of partners in Australia and overseas, along with storage and specialist services.
Technology has changed how moves are surveyed, planned, communicated and coordinated, improving accuracy, visibility and communication between each stage. That will continue to evolve.
But moving is still a human business. Good systems help, but people still have to make decisions, solve problems and make sure each stage is handled properly.
“The moving and relocation industry is built on relationships, trust, and shared experience.”
The people carrying Palmers forward
Palmers today is made up of the people who survey, plan, coordinate and carry out moves, along with the teams working behind the scenes to support each stage.
Different roles bring different experience, but the expectation across the business is the same: understand what needs to happen, communicate clearly and do the work properly.

Recognised standards behind the way we work
When you choose a moving company, much of what determines how well your move is managed happens behind the scenes. You may meet the consultant and crew, but it is harder to see the systems, training, supplier controls, data protection and compliance processes supporting the move — especially when it crosses borders.
That is why independent standards and certification matter. They give you another useful reference point when deciding who to trust with your move, rather than relying only on what a company says about itself.
