London-based James and Olivia are in their thirties and have two young children. They are about to move to Edinburgh with James’ work, but are dreading the complicated and inevitably disruptive move. The HR department offers the Good Sorts service as part of the relocation package.
An initial consultation through Skype is set up. After a follow-up visit to the house, Good Sorts sends James and Olivia a detailed plan for sorting and organising all the contents. This takes into account the demands of their busy household, tailoring the process to their needs and itemising the costs for the HR administrator who is responsible for James’ relocation package.
An overwhelming process has been turned into something positive and manageable.
Three weeks before James and Olivia are due to relocate, the Good Sorts team starts. They spend Thursday and Friday sorting, leaving the agreed categories arranged and organised so James and Olivia can go through everything and make their decisions over the weekend, using the Good Sorts tags and labels as they go along.

On Monday, Good Sorts puts everything that is going to Scotland back in the cupboards, packs up and delivers items to be donated to a local charity shop and arranges collection for everything that is being disposed of. The following week the same process is repeated, so everything is ready when the removal firm arrives to pack for the move. When James and Olivia move to Edinburgh, they know they have exactly what they want, where they want it. Nothing needs to be sorted in their new house and they can hit the ground running.
“Good Sorts were invariably punctual, courteous, sympathetic, efficient, and made commonsensical suggestions when I felt incapable of any decision. I cannot recommend them highly enough.”
