In 1992, three guys with some pickup trucks came together to create Little Guys Movers. They could never have imagined what it would become.
30 years later, Little Guys Movers is still going strong — in fact, it’s grown exponentially. Our little business turned into a nationwide company with eighteen locations. Our pickups became a fleet of moving trucks. But our philosophy never changed: we’re still all about hard work, having fun, and doing the right thing.
We asked the leadership team how they were feeling about this momentous milestone. Here’s some of what they had to say…
What does it mean to you that Little Guys Movers is celebrating 30 years as a business?
It’s almost impossible to even imagine that Little Guys is turning the big 3-0! I could probably write a book about all the different ways it makes me feel to be a part of it, but ultimately, it’s just such an honor and a humbling privilege to be here. It means we’ve never stopped — never stopped caring, we’ve never stopped trying, we’ve never stopped growing and learning, we’ve never stopped innovating, and we’ve never stopped diversifying… it’s a beautiful thing to be able to contribute to and watch happen. It truly is magical. — Chris Hawley, Co-Founder & President
To what do you attribute the success of this company?
From the very beginning, Chris and I cared about people. Whether they were customers, employees, or neighboring businesses. I think everyone that interacts with Little Guys feels that and gives it back to us. ‘The love we take is equal to the love we make.’ — Marcus Watson, Co-Founder & Vice President
