Van + Driver hire

Hi,
I'm about to pack up my flat and put it into storage as I'm moving abroad for at least a year, and I'm looking for a van and driver to move my furniture/boxes.
Last year when I was moving into the flat, I considered the same option, but ended up renting a van and driving it myself. I won't have the time to do that this time.
When I was looking last year, I found a website where you basically put out a tender, and people in the business responded with offers. Some of the offers that came in in the end were actually a good deal, but I'd already sorted out my van hire by then, and I didn't take advantage of them.
I'd love to use that website again, but I'm darned if I can remember what it was called. Anyone have any ideas or know something similar?
Failing that, does anyone know(/know where to find out) what is a good rate for hiring a driver and transit for loading, a 4hr drive, and unloading?
Big thanks!

I posted in haste. After spending 2 days unsuccessfully trawling through old emails, I found one as soon as I posted here. It was Anyvan.co.uk.
Information about good rates would be great through!
I'm moving from Suffolk to a lockup in Southampton.
