It’s no secret that Raleigh and surrounding areas like Durham, Chapel Hill, Wake Forest, and many others are experiencing continued economic growth. This area is commonly referred to as “The Triangle” and is home to many high technology and life science companies, in addition to several research universities. Companies are growing and, consequently, outgrowing their office space. When your company is ready to expand to a new location, how will you know which moving company to trust with your business?
Referrals and References
The Triangle is home to many local moving companies. Raleigh area businesses are a great resource for word-of-mouth references and referrals. You may already know people who have recently gone through a company move. If so, ask them who they used, what they liked, what they didn’t like, and anything they would do differently when dealing with the moving companies they researched and eventually chose.
These references can provide you with a good evaluation of the capabilities of the company and whether or not it can serve your particular moving needs effectively.
Stick With What You Know
You hired your employees for their expertise in their respective field. In most cases, that field was probably not furniture construction or office equipment knowledge. Consider a moving company that offers experienced and reliable services for disconnecting and reconnecting your valuable office equipment and can disassemble and reassemble your office furniture. This can save you and your employees time in the long run. You already will have a lot to think about during your move, so having the professionals handle these tasks can take a load off your shoulders.
Community Affiliations
One way to know you’re dealing with respected local moving companies is to ask about their local affiliations. In the Raleigh area, some of the organizations to look for are:
* Triangle Relocation Council
* Greater Raleigh Chamber of Commerce
* North Carolina Movers Association
The process of moving your company will always carry some level of stress for everyone involved. Finding the best local moving company for your needs can go a long way in reducing that stress and making it a memorable experience for all the right reasons.
