Wemoved fromClophill, a small village in
Bedfordshire, UK, at the end of November
last year. Upon arriving in Singapore we
stayed in a serviced apartment and
Kate Walder, British
We were doing an internal move in the
St. Regis Residences. Initially, we had
thought that we could do most of it
ourselves, but Alvin fromOranje Movers
was very helpful in pointing out that this
was a crazy idea, especially since it was
two days before Chinese New Year! He
quickly assessed the situation, and we
soon abandoned our initial idea.
On top of the usual clutter that had
accumulated during the four years
of our stay, we also had to factor in
my husband’s paintings, china and
furniture, along with my collection of
antique textiles. Shifting everything
from the 10th floor to the 22nd-floor
penthouse with our younger daughter,
our helper and a very noisy Siamese cat
was also not the best thing to do on our
own. Adding to all of that, my mother-in-
law was visiting from the UK and staying
with us, so we wanted to make sure she
still had a relaxing holiday.
I found Oranje Movers while
searching online for testimonials on
different moving companies. They
had many testimonials from satisfied
customers and, from our experience
with them, I can see why. The extremely
capable Sue, who was with us every
day, supervised the move. I cannot
praise her and her team of movers
too highly; these guys were wonderful.
Their cheerful attitude made them a joy
to work with.

started looking at other apartments while
waiting for our shipment to arrive. Our
move was primarily for Paul’s job, but
we were also keen on experiencing a
different culture and way of life – we were
excited about this new family adventure!
We chose Asian Tigers as they were
highly recommended by most people
we spoke to when we were doing our
research. They haven’t failed to impress
us too; we felt that they did a great job
and were really thorough.
The entire move ran smoothly; the
whole family was involved and we
finished unpacking in record time!
Communication was excellent and the
staff were very friendly. We have also
been impressed by the aftercare the
company has provided – they left us with
plenty of literature to help us navigate
the first few months in Singapore,
for example. And the “Welcome to
Singapore” orientation meeting was a
great chance to meet new people and
find out more about making the best of
our new country.
Knowing that we can rely on Asian
Tigers’ comprehensive service and
professionalism, we will not hesitate to
engage them again for our next move.
