ABOUT
Small Business, Big Standards
Welcome to Southern Furniture Movers, a Dunedin-based, privately owned and operated business led by Teressa Grigg. With over 20 years of experience in the transport industry, Teressa is passionate about the business and occasionally swaps the office for the driver’s seat!
Founded in 2010, Southern Furniture Movers has expanded from a single truck in Dunedin to a fleet of 23 vehicles, with Distribution Centres in Dunedin, Christchurch, and Auckland, and satellite depots in Wellington and Central Otago. We specialize in new furniture distribution, ensuring that your products are delivered to their destinations safely, efficiently, and with care.
Our team is the backbone of our company, and we treat our staff like family. Their dedication to providing exceptional service is matched by our commitment to their growth. We offer ongoing training and promote from within, which not only enhances the skills of our team but also ensures that they understand our clients’ unique needs. This focus on development has resulted in some of the lowest staff turnover rates in the industry, providing consistency and expertise to our valued customers.
At Southern Furniture Movers, we’re not just about business—we’re about community. We proudly support several children’s charities, including Special Rigs for Special Kids, Heart Kids Otago, and Autism NZ. Every year, we send multiple trucks to Special Rigs for Special Kids, a cause we hold close.
Whether you’re distributing furniture locally or nationwide, trust us to handle your products with the highest standards of service and care.
