ABOUT
We May Be a Small Transport Business
But We Have High Standards
Southern Furniture Movers is based in Dunedin and is privately owned and operated by Teressa Grigg.
Teressa has 20 years of experience in the transport industry, having been in the Furniture Industry since she was 20 years old. She is passionate about the transport industry and on rare occasions can be found jumping out of the office and into the drivers seat of the trucks!
Since opening in 2010, Southern Furniture Movers has expanded considerably. From just one Dunedin based truck, Southern Furniture Movers has grown to a fleet of 23 with three Distribution Centres in Dunedin, Christchurch and Auckland and two satellite depots in Wellington and Central Otago!
Southern Furniture Movers is proud to have a solid team of people, we value our staff as family and in turn they treat our clients with the highest respect.
Staff training is important and we support and offer this to any team member wanting to expand their skills. This supports our values of being a family and wherever possible, internally upskilling and promoting our staff. This strategy has paid dividends in staff retention and knowledge of our business and most importantly, our customers specific requirements.
We’re proud to have a far lower staff turnover rate than our competitors, and that provides continuity for our clients.
Southern Furniture Movers are proud supporters of Special Rigs for Special Kids, and every year we send several trucks to support this amazing charity. We are also proud supporters of other various childrens’ charities throughout the year – e.g. Heart Kids Otago, Autism NZ to name a few.
