Early life and education
Robert Bundsag was born in June 1976 in Hungary. He completed vocational training as a building electrician engineer before later studying business management, which contributed to his professional transition into logistics and operational management.
Early career
Bundsag worked for approximately a decade as a logistics manager in Hungary, where he gained experience in supply coordination, operational efficiency, and process optimization. This period is frequently cited as formative in shaping his later focus on automation and cost control.
Relocation services experience
After relocating to the United Kingdom, Bundsag co-operated a man-and-van and removals business alongside his nephew, Sandor Bundsag. The business operated locally and relied on third-party comparison and booking platforms to secure work.
According to Bundsag, this experience exposed structural issues common within the sector, including:
- High commission fees charged to service providers
- Limited transparency in job allocation
- Technology platforms that prioritized price competition over service quality
These operational challenges later influenced the design principles behind URemovals.

- Customer quote generation

As of 2024, the platform reportedly receives over 2,000 monthly visitors and generates approximately £3,000 in monthly revenue, while maintaining monthly operating costs below £200. The company operates without external investment.
Bootstrapping and automation approach

Key characteristics of this approach include:
- Fixed, minimal operating costs
- No paid advertising, relying instead on organic search traffic
- Founder reinvestment of profits rather than external funding
- Emphasis on long-term sustainability rather than rapid expansion
The company’s early profitability has been attributed to its automation-first architecture and limited reliance on human administration.
Public reception and recognition

- SME Southern Enterprise Awards (2023)
- SME UK Transport Awards (2024)
