Office Services Division Company History: Of the 800 North American Van agents nationwide, Sterling is the 3 rd largest with total sales of over $27 million. Our size allows us to offer many advantages, unlike most other moving companies, who use the same resources to perform all their services, (household goods, high tech and trade show transportation, storage and office moving). Sterling has created distinct divisions that specializes in one service area. This specialization allows us to become much more proficient in each area, resulting in better service to our customers. Our Office Services Division is a classic example of this philosophy. Created in 1994, our Office Services Division was created to meet the needs of the diverse business community of New England. This Group was created and is managed by Jerry Markow and Michael Norton, who between them, have over 30 years of experience in selling, planning and managing office and industrial relocations. The Office Services Division quickly grew to over 100 people and now represents over $9 million in gross annual sales; more than many full-size van Line agents. Over the past few years, we have concentrated on bringing on board the most talented people in the industry, with an eye towards offering our customers a single-source project team. We have accomplished our goal of becoming one of the few full commercial moving groups in New England. In addition to our moving services, we offer our customers installation of modular furniture, computer disconnect/reconnect, pallet racking, inventory racking, warehouse storage, library shelving & caging. This is all handled in house. We DO NOT SUBCONTRACT these tasks as most other movers must.

And we back it up with:

Experience:

Our Project Managers, of which we have eight, have five to twenty-five years commercialmove management experience each. All are fully versed in the nuances of relocations in ourmove management experience each. All are fully versed in the nuances of relocations in ourvaried market from smaller five person legal offices to three thousand person corporate campuses.We cover the full spectrum of typical office moves, industrial machinery, libraries, high techtesting and manufacturing, forty million dollar server rooms, biotech laboratories and equipment,hospitals, universities and school systems, and hotels.

Our Supervisors all have in excess of ten years commercial supervisory move relatedexperience. Many have been with the division since its creation.

The Drivers are some of the top rated in the business. Their driving skill, load knowledge andbackgrounds insure what goes in at origin arrives as it was taken.

We field eighteen highly trained Installers, well versed in the myriad of cubicle manufacturers’designs and office furniture installation. They also are qualified in pallet rack installations andcompetent assembling such sensitive equipment as bio-safety cabinets.

Our Movers are all our employees. Daily, we field some sixty full timers, supplemented nightsand weekends by our part timers giving us the ability to run one hundred twenty movers for off

hour and weekend moves which are our peak times. We use NO TEMPORARY LABOR.All employees are in house trained, arrive in uniform and prepared to go to work, not to receive onthe job training at your expense.

Capacity:

Sterling is unique in that the size of our Office Services Division allows us to perform many largeprojects simultaneously. We typically have 3-5 large relocations happening on any given Friday and/orSaturday. The size of your particular relocation dictates that the mover must have this type of capacity.Sterling will not have to stop all of our other office moves, in order to service your company, as manyother movers will. As a matter of fact, given the crew sizes needed each weekend, we perform 3-5 jobsof substantial size each weekend simultaneously. This is important since it is inevitable that the vendorselected will be needed by its other customers. A specific example of this is on one recent weekend,when we relocated 20 trailer loads for Oracle, 5 trailer loads for Cisco, 20 trailer loads for HBSR, 5trailer loads for Compaq, and 10 trailer loads for Key3Media, representing a total of 60 trailer loads.Total manpower was 114 men on Saturday. You will find these companies on our reference sheet andwe welcome do diligence on your part.

Reliability:

Office Services Division

Reliability:

It is important to know the capabilities of your chosen mover and trust in their ability to perform at yourhighest levels of expectations. Whether your business is large or small, office related or includes highlysensitive equipment, it is your livelihood. This is precisely how we approach each move.

All projects are discussed in detail with our operations department to insure the proper mix of personneland skill sets are on each job.

Our customers know we honor our commitments, arrive when and as specified and perform asexpected. We do not overbook, as does our competition, requiring temporary labor to fill their crews.We would rather turn down work or endeavor to consider alternate times and dates than providemediocre service with unskilled manpower. Our customers know what to expect, a highly trained,professional crew, whose livelihood is in the moving business.

References:

Attached is a listing of current references, none over two years old. It is important to note that we arenot offering one or two of our best, but one hundred firms from all areas of the marketplace. Weencourage our contacts to be candid as we encourage you to qualify us as your vendor of choice.
