Who are Wardle & Keach International Ltd?
Wardle & Keach International Limited is a Specialist Independent Removal and Storage Company that has been making all the right moves since 1890.
With over a century of experience, we have built a reputation for delivering reliable, professional and carefully managed removals and storage services across Northamptonshire, the UK and internationally.
A Heritage Built on Trust
A well-known and respected name within the industry, Wardle & Keach has been protecting your belongings, and our reputation, for over 120 years.
The company still proudly bears the names of its founders, Albert Keach and George Wardle, two Kettering-based haulage entrepreneurs who formed their partnership in 1890. Their forward-thinking approach saw the business expand into furniture removals prior to 1939, laying the foundations for the company we are today.
A Family Business That Has Grown with You
Over the decades, Wardle & Keach has remained a family-run business. Since 1986, the Henry family has led the company through continued growth and development.
Through strategic expansion and the acquisition of complementary businesses, we have broadened our services to include:
- Local and UK-wide removals
- International removals and shipping
- Secure storage and self-storage solutions
- Professional packing services
- Commercial removals and business relocation
- Flexible business space, including yard and office rentals
- Fine art and specialised country home moving services

This growth allows us to provide truly comprehensive, end-to-end services for both residential and commercial clients.
