Making Moves Logistics Inc. was founded in September 2020 by Western University graduates Doug Carter and Michael Pare to provide affordable delivery services for local businesses in London and nearby areas during the pandemic. As delivery demand declined post-pandemic, they pivoted to residential moving services, focusing initially on senior downsizing. Their professionalism and care earned them a strong reputation, leading to business growth. Today, they offer a variety of moving services and remain committed to supporting their community through charitable initiatives. Michael graduated from Western with a Masters in classical guitar performance and is a past winner of the Kiwanis Music Festival's Rose Bowl Competition.
