Our Founder Story
ILTMIMI was founded by North London resident Ray Velmi.
As a property developer refurbishing homes across Finchley, Hampstead and Kilburn, Ray repeatedly struggled to find a cost-effective moving and storage service that was genuinely available on demand. Services were either too rigid, too slow, or too expensive for real-world needs.
Rather than compromise, Ray decided to build the service he wished existed.
What started with a single van and a hands-on founder quickly became a trusted local operation, growing almost entirely through word of mouth, repeat customers and long-term relationships.
A Local Company Built on Trust
From those early days, ILTMIMI has grown steadily and organically. The business expanded its fleet, team and capabilities while remaining proudly independent and founder-led.
Today, the company supports thousands of families and businesses each year across London and beyond, offering:
.Household removals
.Short-term & long-term storage
.Office and commercial moves
.International relocation
More than 10,000 successful moves later, ILTMIMI has become one of North London’s most recognisable moving and storage companies. Its bright, colourful vans are a familiar sight across Hampstead, Highgate and Finchley.
