Quick Move Now are committed to reducing our environmental impact and making a positive contribution to both our local community and important national and global causes.
These are some of the things we’ve been involved in over the last year:
Environment
In 2020 Quick Move Now became a carbon-neutral company.
We have also set ambitious targets to reduce environmental impact in other ways:
- reduce our paper usage by 20%
- minimise our plastic usage and make environmentally conscious choices when sourcing supplies for the office
- make changes to our IT systems to reduce our energy use
- only use electricity from renewable sources and our gas usage is carbon neutral
Quick Move Now have also partnered with the World Land Trust an international conservation charity that protects endangered habitats.
We have purchased an acre of land for each Quick Move Now staff member through the Buy an Acre programme. This will help protect the environment and provide a future for some of the world’s most threatened species of wildlife.
Quick Move Now are Wiltshire Wildlife Trust Investors in Wildlife. This means we have made a long-term commitment to support the Trust and make a difference for wildlife in Wiltshire.
Wiltshire Wildlife Trust works hard to create living landscapes across the county, recreating wildlife habitats that can be enjoyed by both people and animals. They do this by protecting and maintaining nature reserves, and actively managing land, rivers and wetlands for the benefit of wildlife.
Community
We are committed to making a positive contribution to our local community.
This year we have:

- Provided Christmas hampers to local families experiencing hardship
- Sponsored a local rugby club
