Glyn Upton Removals in short

Glyn Upton Removals is a long-established Telford firm offering domestic, commercial, international and piano moves with packing, storage and de-cluttering, describing itself as the town's largest independent mover. National Guild of Removers certification is stated on its own website, and the company record runs back to 2001. Offices sit in Telford, Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton.

Customer reviews stand at 4.5 from 83 Google ratings, the only public source we hold. Our verdict is that Glyn Upton suits anyone wanting a long-running local name for a piano move inside a wider house or international relocation. What counts against it is the absence of any published insurance detail or prices. It is our pick for buyers who value a long local history and three offices to call over published paperwork.
