Southwick sits right on the BN42 postcode split from neighbouring BN41, with its own station barely a fifth of a mile from the centre and Fishersgate just beyond it, making this a compact patch of West Sussex wedged between Shoreham-by-Sea and Portslade. Van & Driver is preparing to launch here, bringing together van with driver and man and van services for the people who live between those two stations and the Holmbush Shopping Centre. Once live, the marketplace will let residents book a fixed-price van and driver for house removals, furniture delivery, tip runs, next-day van work, storage moves, student removals, marketplace delivery and commercial courier runs, whether the trip stays within Southwick or heads the mile and a half along the coast to Shoreham-by-Sea, out to Lancing and Sompting, or further to Steyning. With Big Yellow Self Storage a couple of miles off and Shoreham Recycling Centre on the way to the coast, there's plenty in the surrounding area that a local van move might touch. For now, coverage in Southwick is still being built, so this page describes what's coming rather than a service you can book today. When partner drivers are confirmed for the BN41 and BN42 area, this will become the place to arrange a van and driver for anything from a single item to a full house move, at the fixed prices already set for journeys around Southwick and out to its neighbours.
Southwick had 12,242 people at the 2021 Census. Furniture and flat-pack from Holmbush Shopping Centre, Goldstone Retail Park and Churchill Square Shopping Centre is a common single-item run. The council's nearest recycling centre is Shoreham Recycling Centre, 1.1 miles away; a tip run with us goes to a licensed recycling centre, with the disposal in the price.
