Which trade do I need to build a wheeled platform for my washing machine?

My washing machine is situated in a cupboard on a fixed platform above plumbing elements which need annual inspection under a maintenance contract. The contract is costing me more because two technicians are needed to move the washing machine. I would like someone to construct a stable wheeled platform for the washing machine to sit on, which could be rolled out of the cupboard by a single technician for easier access. This could be done either by constructing the platform from scratch or by adapting a suitable robust existing trolley. Who could I approach with a project like this?

This would be a great job for a carpenter, joiner or even a multi-skilled trade. ideally show pictures of the setup, both with the machine in and out of situ,​​​​ answering any questions before a site visit.
