Congratulations Simon for proudly representing Westmount Moving across the country!

It is a constant battle for professional and reputable companies to prove to clients that doing business with fly by night operators might appear cheaper but can be far more costly in the long run and cause a lot of headaches.

This article is a great example of how customers suffer in the hands of a bad mover. Researching the moving company with the BBB and selecting a mover that is a member in good standing with the Canadian Association of Movers (CAM) is a good way to ensure that your mover will deliver on its promises.

Westmount Moving has expanded and opened a moving company in the Kitchener-Waterloo area, just one hour west of Toronto.

Areas served include Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, North Dumfries, Wellesley, Wilmot and Woolwich.

Westmount Moving in Waterloo will offer the same excellent moving services as the Montreal head office, and increase Westmount Moving’s ability to provide full service moves from anywhere in Canada as well as cross-border moving.

Westmount’s employees quarterly quality award winners were announced, which are decided by a combination of three factors: 

1) their own personal quality scores
2) on time performance
3) overall attitude. 

The photo shows this quarter’s winners, Mathew McKay, John Clarkson, and Daniel Perras (holding silver mugs).

Stay tuned as we announce 2009 overall quality award winner on December the 11th.

Here’s the plan:

Our sales team does numerous in home estimates on a daily basis. For the next 7 weeks, they will go to the home estimate with an empty Westmount Moving carton. We will ask the client to place any non-perishable food items that they do not want to move into the box and our movers will bring it back to our depot for a final delivery to Share the warmth.

We are also offering our warehouse to anyone in the area that would like to drop off any non-perishable food items at Westmount Moving for final delivery to share the warmth.

The Drive will begin next Monday with the delivery to share the warmth on Monday January 4th. 

We would love to be able to fill an entire moving truck with food at a time when it’s most desperately needed (after the holidays).
