Our Story – by Our Founder, Dennis Rogers

Introduction

Firstly, thank you for showing interest in having our team at Redpath Moving & Storage help you with your removals and storage requirements for your home or business. I do hope that we are your preferred choice of moving partner.

At Redpath Moving & Storage, our experienced team brings careful planning, expert packing, and a smooth, stress-free approach to every relocation.

Whether it’s a treasured family heirloom passed down through generations or the sofa where countless stories were shared, we understand that every item we move is part of our clients’ story. It’s always a privilege to be trusted to help clients turn the page and begin their next chapter.

My Removals Story

I began working in the removals and storage industry back in 1995. Well, truth be told, I started earlier than that as I grew up within our family’s removals business which my father, Dennis Rogers Snr, established in Finchley, back in 1969. I would help out on weekends and school holidays, cleaning lorries, sweeping out the warehouse, or organising stocks of packing material.

When I joined the family removals business full time, in 1995, I started as a removals packer and porter before gaining my HGV licence and later becoming a removals foreman. At that time, our company’s chief surveyor was my uncle, Bob Rogers. I trained under his guidance and joined the surveying team prior to becoming a director of the family business in 2001.

Over the years, I have personally managed an estimated 50,000 moves and built up an unrivalled wealth of knowledge, experience, and expertise on helping people move or store their goods. Alongside my team, I have successfully moved clients from in and around North London to local, national, and international locations. It’s fair to say that I have worked in every role within removals and I thoroughly enjoy the work and challenges of the industry.

I am proud to say that the family removals business which I grew up in and helped build, became the largest and most popular independent remover in North London before being acquired by a large venture capitalist backed company in 2022. As one chapter closes, another opens.

So, where did the name come from?

The question that I am most frequently asked is where the business name came from. “Redpath” is my grandmother, Evelyn Rogers’ maiden name. She was a great woman who was very much loved and respected. Having her name on the business gives me great pride and reminds me of her kindness, fantastic work ethic and morals which I strive to emulate and embed within our company ethos.

My goal for Redpath Moving & Storage is to make sure we offer the best possible service to our clients whilst also doing good within our community. We achieve this by supporting local school and community events as well as our adopted charity, The North London Hospice. This is a charity close to my heart as they helped my grandmother, Evelyn Rogers (née Redpath) at the end of her life as well as many other friends and relatives over the years.

Thanks for taking the time to read our story.
