Hey Paul - Just add the following to your .htaccess file:

Redirect permanent /old/address/ http://www.yourdomain.com/new/address/

For example on my site I have one:

Redirect permanent /yclick.it/ecommerce-live-chat-service/ Answer Your Visitors’ Questions through a Live Chat *|*logic+intuition

SEOmoz have a good article on doing redirects properly for SEO. They do it slightly differently to above but I think this is more straight-forward.
