Abels Moving Services is a removal and storage company with headquarters in Brandon, Suffolk, with facilities in London, Cambridge, Lutterworth covering the whole of the UK. It became the first removals firm to be granted a Royal Warrant in 1989, by appointment to HM the Queen for removals and storage services. As of 2011[update], the company still holds this warrant.
The Grantee of the Warrant, the person responsible for ensuring its proper and correct use, is Philip Pertoldi, the current group managing director. He is a past president of the main UK removals industry trade body, the British Association of Removers (BAR), and past president of the Sandringham Association of Royal Warrant Holders.

In 1991, the Abel family sold the business to Hays plc, and then in 1998 a management buyout returned Abels to independent ownership.
