Marco
Managing Director - jack of all trades while master at none!
One thing I will never do again:
Rest something really heavy such as a large marble top on my foot. Regrettably, it was not one of my finest hours. Do not try at home; believe me, it hurts!
My greatest strength is...
Working well under pressure, within tight deadlines and under scrutiny.
Despite appearances, I have a hidden talent.
Being able to sit, crossing my legs and being able to 'walk' from that position.

Never to set yourself on fire to keep others warm.

It is never too late to do something you've always wanted to do.

I won’t shut up about:
Camden Town! I love being in the heart of Camden Town as there’s so much to do! I recommend my colleagues and our clients to visit all the time! From meeting so many cool people from all walks of life, a stroll in the scenic and peaceful surroundings of Primrose Hill, to the food markets and epic music scene, it’s my favourite part of London.
If my life had a theme song, it would be...
“I like to move it” by Reel 2 Real as I think it’s really fitting, especially as we’re constantly on the move during our line of work and it helps to keep the spirit and momentum up within the team!
When faced with a zombie apocalypse, my survival strategy would involve:
Ensuring the client's goods have been transported safely and securely, informing my colleagues of the safe zone and also mentioning the zombie apocalypse. I would then opt to go to the pub for a cool pint! Because who knows, maybe the zombies might prefer consuming a cold brew or two than a brain.
Joey

Two truths and one lie:

The weirdest food combination I've ever enjoyed:
Grasshoppers with a beer. I tried this during a trip to Thailand as it was one of their delicacies 😋

When I was little...
I wanted to save the world; now that I've grown up, I found at least one way to be a saviour.. through my work as a house moving specialist.
My friends ask me for advice about...
Relationships because I have been in long relationships throughout my adult life.
Fact about me that surprises people.
Is when I tell them that I'm more Danish than English and that I used to do Thai boxing along with working as a removal specialist.
Rafael
Mover, Packer
The best advice I was given...
The only moment that success comes before work is in the dictionary. That’s why we have to work hard to achieve our goals and success in life.
My ideal superpower would be:
The ability to control time. With my power, I would be able to stop, reverse, slow down and speed up time whenever I pleased. Having control of time would give me control of any situation, whether it involves me or not. One of the first ways I would utilize my superpower would be to make my life easier.
If I could time travel to any era, I'd choose:
My childhood, where everything was easy and uncomplicated, where innocence predominated. I was happy with little and it was me and my friends against the world.

Scuba diving trough a 120m long WW2 shipwreck submerged 35m in the South China Sea, of the coast of Philippines. Amazing & exhilarating experience.
