Bishop & Sons Depositories was established in 1854 by Joseph James Bishop, who was a farm worker from Norfolk who came to London to join Robert Peel’s newly established police force.
J.J. as he was known, left the police force to open a green grocers in Elizabeth Street, London. And it is from there he developed the business to include general cartage services which soon evolved to become a growing business moving and storing household furniture and effects.
Horses were used to transport the company's wagons up until the 1930s, when motor vehicles were introduced to the fleet.
During both World Wars, Bishop's Move provided vital removal services for government departments, as well as the relocation of precious museum pieces. The name Bishop's Move was officially registered on 10 November 1955 and the company has been trading as this ever since.
Over the last 165 years, J.J’s small general cartage and haulage business has successfully grown into the UK’s largest family owned removals and storage company with over 20 branches across the UK, and Europe.
