Relocating business premises is about more than shifting boxes from one building to another. Proact Security Services provides Commercial Moves (Business Only) for offices, warehouses and operational sites, combining practical move management with a security-led approach to protect your assets, staff and reputation throughout the process.
Whether you’re moving a small office across town or consolidating multiple locations into a single site, our vetted operatives and GPS-tracked commercial vehicles help you move in a structured, controlled way. We work around your operational needs, plan moves logically and pay particular attention to high-value, sensitive and business-critical items.
Commercial Moves (Business Only) is ideal for:
Offices relocating to new premises
Warehouses or depots changing location or layout
Project teams moving between temporary sites
Businesses consolidating or reconfiguring existing space
Pre-move planning and site review
Discussion of your objectives, timelines and operational constraints
Review of current and destination layouts where available
Identification of high-priority areas such as IT, comms rooms or secure storage
Agreement on phasing to minimise disruption to staff and customers
Asset protection and labelling
Simple labelling systems to identify departments, floors or destinations
Practical guidance on packing and preparation for staff and contractors
Extra focus on high-value equipment, confidential materials and fragile items
Clear instructions for what should travel together and what must be separated
Move-day operations
Vetted operatives and GPS-tracked vehicles allocated to defined tasks or phases
Structured loading, transport and unloading in line with the agreed plan
Sensible, proportionate security measures at both ends of the journey
Coordination with your facilities, IT and security teams throughout the move
Common examples include:
Full office relocations including desks, chairs, IT equipment and storage
Partial moves where specific departments or floors are transferring to new space
Moves associated with refurbishment, where equipment and furniture must be decanted and returned in phases
Project and site moves for temporary operations, compound areas or modular buildings
We will always confirm what falls within our scope and what may require specialist partners (for example, large industrial plant or manufacturer-specific decommissioning).
Initial conversation and scoping
You outline what is moving, from where and to where, along with your preferred dates and any operational constraints, such as maintaining partial occupancy.
Survey and planning
We review floorplans or, where appropriate, visit sites to understand access, parking, lifts and any restrictions. A phased move plan is developed and shared.
Preparation and communication
Clear instructions are provided to staff and contractors on packing, labelling and what to expect, helping reduce last-minute disruption and confusion.
Move-day execution
Our team attends as planned, working through each phase in order. Vehicles are loaded logically, moved along agreed routes and unloaded into the correct areas at the new site.
On-site adjustments
Minor adjustments are made as needed – for example, repositioning items within departments – while keeping the move under control and within agreed timeframes.
Completion and handover
Once the move is complete, key contacts walk through the site with us, confirm that all agreed items have been transferred and note any follow-up actions.
Commercial moves often expose information and equipment that is usually kept out of sight. Our security-led mindset ensures:
Confidential materials are kept boxed, labelled discreetly and moved in a controlled way
IT and communications equipment are handled with extra care and not left unattended in public view
Access to both the old and new premises is managed sensibly during the move
Vehicles are never left unlocked or open without a member of the team present
These simple but important controls help reduce the chance of opportunistic theft, data exposure or unauthorised access during busy move days.
