Good day everyone! Next month is the month of May. What does that have to do with moving? Well...years ago during May of 2009, a young 23-year-old decided to start a venture that seemed too big for him. Having moved several times during his childhood, he had been regularly tasked with the responsibility of moving the family’s belongings, and over the years his family went through several moves. His mother would recruit his help with all moving tasks whether it was rearranging the furniture - which often included pushing around the family's upright piano, or carrying a replacement washer and dryer out of an auction hall, and then lifting them into his grandfather's pick-up truck. Needless to say he was one strong kid, and once carried a large bookshelf for a distance of 5km on foot, because it wouldn’t fit into his mother’s vehicle during a family move. Moving things around became a part of his life.
When he got older, he worked in everything from a pet store to a warehouse, and always had 2 full time jobs. During May of 2009, he began his life as an entrepreneur, and registered the business name "Manny The Mover". Starting with nothing, he bought some moving blankets, some yard signs, and rented trucks as he got his first clients. Being only 23, many people didn't take him seriously and getting clients was extremely difficult. He actually had to tell clients that he had to make sure he could rent a truck for their moving date before firming anything up. Not exactly what you’d expect to hear when searching for a moving company. Regardless, he stayed confident, and people started to see his dedication and natural strength. After saving up, he eventually bought an 18ft trailer for small moves that he pulled with a large SUV. Although rental trucks were still needed for larger moves, smaller moves could now be booked with confidence! However, many people still didn't take him seriously with such a small set up.
Over the next couple years he never gave up, and as work slowly picked up, he was able to save enough to make another upgrade to a large 28ft moving trailer, and a pick up truck big enough to pull it. At 28ft long there was lots of room for client’s belongings, the company name was proudly displayed on all sides of the trailer, and people started to recognize the name as new clients and referrals started to pour in. After another couple years, he was able to purchase his first professional moving truck, and the truck and trailer were sold.
Over the course of 10 years and a couple thousand moves, what started with a young man renting a cube van, has grown into a full-service moving company with 3 fully equipped professional moving trucks, and one of the best reputations in the Durham region. I would like to take the time to personally thank each and every one of our clients, friends, family members, and every other person who has offered continuous support. You have all allowed the business to grow over the years, and become what it is today. Looking back, it has been an amazing adventure!
