    Episode 91: Moving Matters with Ed Katz of International Office Moving Institute
    2024/10/24
    In this episode, Ed Katz (Reverend), of International Office Moving Institute (IOMI), discusses how he began within the industry nearly 50 years ago, starting at the very bottom as a mover/helper (porter) before starting his own company Peachtree Movers in 1976 based in Atlanta. Ed sold Peachtree Movers in 2000, and in that 24-year period Peachtree Movers completed nearly 50,000 local office moves. During Ed’s time at Peachtree Movers, he created several inventions, the Space Gobbler being one, an inflatable device that filled the available space within desk drawers, and the Spider Crane being another, a hoist that allowed wide lateral file cabinets to be moved without the need to remove the contents. Today Ed teaches (and preaches) his 3-day office moving seminar, which if you don’t catch in person, you can now watch online. One of Ed’s challenges within the industry is trying to get people to think outside of the box to differentiate themselves from the marketplace. The one thing Ed would like to change from his moving past is to have taken the kind of training Ed provides the industry today, as he had no industry mentor to learn from so everything was self-taught from the school of hard knocks. Ed’s highpoint of being within the industry was going out on moves and listening to the customer reactions and seeing the appreciation for making the service more user friendly. The one thing Ed would like to change within the industry is to ensure that new contractor businesses (those that never render the actual service) are certified. The advice Ed would give himself just starting out within the industry again is get training, differentiate himself, listen to the customer and focus on one specific sector. In the next 5 years god willing Ed will not be room temperature, but continues to see himself advising, coaching, consulting and teaching. Industry wise, Ed see’s people returning to the office and therefore a higher demand for commercial moves as current empty buildings begin to fill again. Outside of the industry Ed spends an hour a day at the gym, but Ed just loves to coach, train, teach and consult as business is his hobby. And as always, we end Moving Matters with a funny moving story, regarding a trip to the can. Enjoy!

  • Episode 90: Moving Matters with Jacob Dolan of Reason Global

    Episode 90: Moving Matters with Jacob Dolan of Reason Global
    2024/10/10
    In episode 90, Jacob Dolan, Business Development Executive of Reason Global, a second-generation mover, discusses how he began within the industry at the tender age of 14, working in his father’s company, Greens Removals in Suffolk. Not only has Jacob worked in the family business, but he has also worked for Pickford’s (in their Anglo Pacific office) and Crown Relocations. Today, Jacob works for Reason Global, specialist insurance brokers within the Moving & Storing industry. Jacob’s biggest challenge was being the boss’s son when he was younger where he had to work harder, faster, longer, than anyone else in order to gain respect from staff members. Jacob’s current challenge is combining his moving knowledge with insurance. Jacob is reluctant to look back and change anything from his moving past, but if he had to it would be to have remained in the family business longer, to have obtained his HGV driving licence, and to have got involved with BAR and YMG (Young Movers Group) earlier. Jacob has two highpoints of being within the industry, the first being at Reason Global, and the second running the London Sales Centre for Crown Relocations at the age of 25. The one thing Jacob would like to change within the industry, apart from perception (as many previous guests have stated), is the balance of technology with in-person meetings. The advice Jacob would give himself just starting out within the industry again is that everyone you meet can teach you something, so listen and learn from others. In the next 5 years Jacob sees himself still at Reason Global and attending as many industry events as he can. Industry wise, Jacob sees a continual trend in smaller shipments, and a rise in the use of smaller vehicles, such as lo-loaders. Outside of the industry Jacob enjoys chasing around after his young family, playing rugby, golf, and live sport in general, whether watching or playing. And as always, we end Moving Matters with a funny moving story, regarding a swimming pool, some absurd outfits and some quite surprised homeowners. Enjoy!

  • Episode 89: Moving Matters with Mark Brett of Anglo French

    Episode 89: Moving Matters with Mark Brett of Anglo French
    2024/09/26
    In this episode, Mark Brett, Owner of Anglo French, discusses how he began within the industry nearly 40 years ago, after being brought up around trucks due to his father’s haulage business. Mark’s father’s haulage business branched into removals, firstly providing local moves in Kent and then progressed to specialising in Spain, forming Anglo Spanish where Mark learned his removals trade. During Thatcherism, moves to Spain dried up and coupled with his father’s health, Anglo Spanish closed. After a short spell (5 years) of owning and running a fishing tackle shop (his boyhood dream), Mark sold up, bought his first truck, and returned to removals, forming Anglo French (approximately November 1998), which specialised solely in France, where Mark even relocated himself too, for 5 years. Mark’s biggest challenge has been staff and finds that the younger generation are insecure. Mark would like to change two things from his moving past, being braver at times (should have brought his own warehouse), and to have spent more time enjoying some of the fantastic places he’s delivered too. Mark’s highpoint of being within the industry is getting Anglo French (starting from nothing) to where it is today. The one thing Mark would like to change within the industry is regulation, and does see it being part of our industry, but is still a long way off. The advice Mark would give himself just starting out within the industry again is not to change the path he’s been down. In the next 5 years, or sooner rather than later, Mark sees himself out of the industry as his exit plan comes to fruition. Industry wise, Mark sees a lack of experienced drivers and porters coming through being a concern, domination from the larger nationwide companies as they continue to purchase established family businesses, and key exchange will only improve as the current system cannot continue. Outside of the industry Mark enjoys his carp fishing, and even competes in the British Carp Angling Championship. Mark also enjoys watching his beloved Liverpool FC and helps out with coaching at grass-route level for his daughter’s team. And as always, we end Moving Matters with a funny moving story, but not just one, three! Enjoy!
