About Philadelphia

Healthiest Philadelphia Movers Philly Business Journal

Philadelphia, the largest city in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, was founded in 1682 and is one of

the oldest municipalities in the United States. Playing a key role in the American Revolution, Philadelphia is where the Declaration of Independence was signed and even served as the US Capital for a brief period. During the industrial revolution many early immigrants to Philadelphia were from Germany and Ireland. Greater Philadelphia is home to numerous universities and colleges that have distinguished it as a major hub for higher education.

The Schuylkill River flows through Philadelphia and you’ll find the famous and historical Boathouse Row on the east bank of the river. The Boathouse Row consists of a row of 15 different boathouses where rowing clubs train and compete. Gentle Giant was founded by college rowers in 1980 and is proud to recruit many of our employees from the college rowing programs in and around Philadelphia. The Philadelphia Museum of Art also lies along the Schuylkill River where you will find the famous “Rocky Steps” and bronze statue of Rocky Balboa. All of this sits within Fairmount Park, which when combined with the Wissahickon Valley Park makes up the largest urban park in America.

Andrew Rozzi

Philadelphia Regional Manager
Andrew Rozzi has been a Giant leader since 2003, when he began as a mover at Gentle Giant's Boston HQ. Over the years, he has taken on many different roles in the company, and has excelled in every one. 'I was working at an insurance company after college and not loving it. A couple of rugby teammates mentioned how great it was working at GG. 19 years and three regions later, I'm still loving it!'

After being a mentor to new Giants in Boston for several years, Andrew was tapped to be the second-in-command of our Washington, DC team. After helping to successfully develop the DC team, he was selected as the top choice to launch the Philadelphia office, which opened in 2015. He has also been a key player in Gentle Giant’s national partnership with Move For Hunger, a non-profit organization that works with moving companies to collect non-perishable food items to be delivered to food banks all across North America.

Andrew is a graduate of Northeastern University where he majored in English Lit. Outside of work, he enjoys playing rugby and attending games with his son, staying in shape through CrossFit, and spending time with his family.

Philadelphia Assistant Regional Manager
When Slaven joined Gentle Giant in December of 2007, he was met with heavy furniture and three feet of snow! "It was love at first box run," Slaven recalls of his GG initiation.

Now the Assistant Regional Manager in Philadelphia, Slaven has come a long way since starting with Gentle Giant in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. A Temple University graduate, Slaven’s favorite part of Gentle Giant is working with his fellow colleagues who share in the rewarding experience and lifestyle of a professional mover. "You sweat together, break bread together, and triumph together. There is nothing like it."

Outside of moving, Slaven enjoys football, basketball, wrestling, MMA, track and field, soccer and volleyball. He adores all things super heroes and comic books. Another passion he has is BBQ, cooked over an open flame, with charcoal - not propane!

This weekend we had a fantastic experience with Andrew and his team. From start to finish Gentle Giant Moving company has been professional and reliable. The process of getting a quote was quick and fair. The team came over the day before to look at the space to check dimensions as they were hoisting a couch. The next day they came back on time with all needed assemble items. Full service took less than 1 hour and it was executed perfectly. Could not recommend this company, Andrew or his team enough!

I absolutely love Gentle Giant! This is the second time I have used them for a move, and they get it right every time. I had 2 workers and it took them ZERO time to pack up an entire bedroom and living room set! They are professional, budget-friendly, and very transparent. I will never use anyone else for a move!

Book you move with Gentle Giant! Awesome experience all around. George was very friendly throughout the estimation/scheduling process. Scott, Logan, and MIchael were awesome on move in day. Really put in the effort and did it with care of well.This was far and away the best experience I've had with any moving company. Plan to use Gentle Giant if I ever have to move again.

We hired Gentle Giant to move the contents of a 950 sq ft apartment 1.3 miles away. On July 26 three movers showed up and began packing, the move was completed on July 27. We paid extra for more comprehensive moving insurance with the grand total coming in just shy of $3200.They were not the cheapest moving company but we went with them due to their reputation. Some of our furniture was destroyed in the move, some was damaged, but ultimately Gentle Giant made it right.Taking two stars off because the communication from Gentle Giant throughout the damage claims process was abysmal. It would take multiple emails and phone calls before anyone would respond.

Moving is so stressful all by itself but the young men from Gentle Giants made this move to storage a very pleasant event. I will definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone with a move in the planning. Careful, capable , efficient and easy to work with.Part 2 and 3. These guys are incredible. We moved a large household to a new home and then a second move from storage. The entire process was a dream move. Effortless. They are wonderful to work with. And willing to shift things around if placements don’t work.Don’t hesitate to partner with them. Made moving a much less stressful event. A+
