Our Founder

In his mid 20’s Benny Hallpike decided to put his years of moving experience with another Melbourne carrier to good use and start his own business. Initially the plan was to help pay his way through uni, but the appetite for quality furniture Removalists without the exorbitant price tag was so great that the Friendlies quickly became Benny’s central focus! It wasn’t long before Benny needed help so his great mates Albi Liversidge and Finn Kelly came on board to take moving house to the next level. After successfully operating from their depot in Collingwood, Melbourne for over 10 years, In 2021 the Friendlies expanded their fleet and set up a second home, spearheaded by Albi, in Bronte, Sydney.

Our requirements for this relocation presented a couple of interesting challenges: 'Friendly Moving Men' rose to the occasion, worked efficiently and methodically, and wrapped up the job faster than we had anticipated. – Thank you for taking care of this at short-notice. 👍👍

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Friendly Moving Men deserve five gold stars plus a standing ovation! I booked them for both my moves - firstly all my contents into storage then a few weeks later into my new place. You could not find two more professional, respectful, organised, careful and easy going moving men than Bryce and Tom who worked together to ensure both moves were efficient, easy and stress free. They certainly lived up to the company name and I highly recommend the Friendly Moving Men.

They lived up to the company name and were lovely people, they made me feel safe and respected as a customer. This was the best moving experience I've had and it's meant the first night in my home is super happy after a big, but very friendly, day of moving. Couldn't recommend more and will definitely be hitting them up for my next move. Also, great price! Thanks! 😊

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn't have been happier with how my move went. Tom and Bryce were excellent and moved all my stuff with care and efficiency. They made my moving day a lot less stressful. I was seriously impressed with their parking skills too, since both the place I moved out of an into were in difficult locations. Now that I'm at my new place I'm hoping that I don't need to call any removalists again anytime soon, but if I do end up moving again I'd definitely go with Friendly Moving Men.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Totally lived up to their name. Danny and Hamish were friendly, took care with my belongings and we had a laugh whilst they did all the hard work for me without grumbling. Easy to deal with the office for booking and changing arrangements too. Totally recommend.
