Drink it while it's fizzy!

At Audley, we believe that the senior years can be the best years of your life, and it is a pleasure to work with our partners at The Homemover Specialists who bring a new level of positivity to downsizing in retirement. The Homemover Specialists have shared their ethos and how it works when using their services during your move.

The Homemover Specialists

Our ethos is that life is for living, and moving should be a fresh start, not overwhelming.

Moving house is stressful at any stage of life, but when leaving a long-time family home, it can bring up all kinds of emotions.

People move for many reasons: to release equity for future generations, to escape the endless maintenance of a large home, to future-proof themselves, or, for those living alone, to combat loneliness.

Whatever the reason, this move is an opportunity to make a fresh, positive start. So,

Move to the best place you can
Take your favourite things
Use your best crockery (stop waiting for the special occasion, you are the occasion!)
Get all the help you can so you’re not exhausted

That’s why our motto is DRINK IT WHILE IT’S FIZZY! It’s how we live, work, and help others embrace big life changes with excitement.

Who We Are

We are The Homemover Specialists, a passionate team dedicated to transforming the moving experience. While moving house is often ranked among life’s most stressful events, we believe it should be an exciting new chapter. With expertise, energy, and a touch of fun, we turn stress into smooth transitions.

How It All Began

The Homemover Specialist was founded in 2012 when Meirion Shaw helped her mother-in-law downsize after losing her husband. Seeing how emotional and complex the process was, Meirion realised there had to be a better way.

Later, after assisting a friend post-divorce, she knew moving wasn’t just about logistics—it was about people, emotions, and real support.

Since 2015, she’s expanded across the South of England, growing into a 16-person team. Her belief remains the same: life is for living, and moving should be a fresh start, and even fun!
