It has been a busy summer season of driving, lifting, moving, and a lot of laughing.

For many people, summer is a time to enjoy and rest up a little.
‎ ‎
For movers, it is peak season.
‎ ‎ ‎
While August may be winding its way to an end, McWilliams is still moving at full speed into the rest of the year.
‎ ‎ ‎
A big thank you to all of our customers and crew who have been giving it their all, all summer long.

🚛 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗧𝗼𝗺 & 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝗺𝗲.
‎ ‎ ‎
Every week, hundreds of trucks and thousands of boxes move through the McWilliams warehouse in Peterborough.
‎ ‎ ‎
➜ Behind it all are Tom and Cosme.
‎ ‎ ‎
Tom, our Warehouse Manager, knows exactly where every customer's stored belongings are located.
‎ ‎ ‎
Whether it's a few boxes or the contents of an entire home, he's the one 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿.
‎ ‎ ‎
Cosme, our Assistant Warehouse Manager, keeps the warehouse running smoothly. 📦
‎ ‎ ‎
From maintaining the facility and managing our box inventory to making sure everything stays clean, safe, and ready for the next move, he's always on the go.
‎ ‎ ‎
Together, they 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗠𝗰𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗺𝘀 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.
‎ ‎ ‎
You may never see them on moving day, but they're a big part of what makes every McWilliams move a success.
‎ ‎ ‎
In fact, if you've ever picked up a McWilliams moving box, there's a good chance Cosme sorted it.
‎ ‎ ‎
And if you've ever trusted us with storage, Tom was likely the one who made sure 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝗹𝘆 and could be found exactly when you needed them.

🚛 One of the things that keeps a community moving is strong local businesses.
‎ ‎
We believe that supporting our community means showing up, building relationships, and supporting the people and businesses that make Peterborough such a great place to call home.
‎ ‎
That's why we've proudly been members of the Peterborough and the Kawarthas Chamber of Commerce since December of 1978.
‎ ‎
Recently, Maxwell has taken on the role of representing our team of drivers, movers, warehouse staff, and office team at Chamber events, including yesterday's networking event at Central Smith Creamery.
‎ ‎ ‎
Because moving communities forward takes more than trucks.
‎ ‎ ‎
It takes people who invest in the places they serve.
‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎
We're proud to be one of them.

🚛 Last night, a few members of the McWilliams team stepped away from the trucks and headed to the stands to support the Peterborough Lakers.
‎ ‎ ‎
It was a great 𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗲, but more importantly, it was a reminder of what makes Peterborough such a special place.

Thank you to the Peterborough Lakers for another great night and for continuing to bring our community together. 🥍

🚛 Cardboard boxes are a big part of the moving business.

Every day, 𝗵𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗯𝗼𝘅𝗲𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀, being built up, broken down, reused, and recycled.

But boxes are more than just cardboard.

They carry stories.

➜ Family photographs.
➜ Awards and achievements.
➜ Memories from homes across the country and around the world.

After traveling across international borders and from coast to coast, many of these boxes make their way back to our main warehouse here in Peterborough. 📦

That’s where our Cardboard Room overseer, Cosme, makes sure every box is properly sorted, folded, stored, and given the next best use, whether that means helping another family move or being responsibly recycled.

Do you know someone who needs packing materials?

A quick thumbs up before heading out.

A smile before the day begins.

A reminder that even the biggest moves are made one moment at a time.

Today, Bobby is on the road helping another family begin their next chapter.
