Over its lifetime, East Coast Moving & Storage has earned a high level of trust, and has learned the essence of customer satisfaction. For an individual faced with a move, the pressures of relocation – getting to know a new boss or a new company, looking after the needs of the children, finding a new home or selling an old one – can be enormous. With family and job on the line, your personal property may not get the attention it needs. At East Coast Moving & Storage, we recognize this as a massive responsibility. You can count us.

Wayne Marshall
Raised and educated in Nova Scotia, Wayne Marshall entered the moving industry in 1966. He bought his first truck when he was 26, and has held every position in the business. Success has come through hard work, his ability to attract and keep the best people in the industry, and a commitment to quality. In 1995 he was nominated by a senior Canadian bank as entrepreneur of the year.
Wayne took over management of East Coast Moving & Storage in 1991, and purchased the business in 1995. He steered the company through the transportation industry’s deregulation, and found ways to make it work even better. He applied the sound principles learned through thirty years of service to build a moving team to deal with the challenges of the nineties and beyond.
Today, under Wayne Marshall’s command, the company is forging new alliances to make it the most progressive moving company in the region. It foresees new opportunities and exciting growth in the next century.
