About Philadelphia

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.

100% Crew Guarantee

Gentle Giant promises to deliver exceptional service to every customer, guaranteed (100% Crew Guarantee). Contact us anytime if you believe we have performed otherwise.

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!

Movers were excellent. They were professional and responded to all my needs and questions.....I have moved many times and have had negative experiences in the past with movers who don't care about your stuff. Gentle Giant movers were perfect and I highly recommend!

The experience started with a very easy booking process after submitting for a quote online. The day of we had an excellent move with Gentle Giant Movers. The crew (Andrew, Chris and Dorian) showed up right on time and called about 10 mins prior to arrival. They did a quick walk through and immediately got to work. They were not phased by our third floor walk up. There was a 4th mover who was supposed to help but in the end they did not come. Even without a fourth mover the guys were so fast and efficient. Loading and unloading were seamless. They took care of all of our items including outdoor furniture, an exercise bike and a large TV and navigated narrow doorways with ease. They communicated with us all day and moved every box into the correct room. They disassembled furniture and put it back together as well. The rate was reduced due to lack of a fourth mover and for how hard they work it was a very reasonable price. Gentle Giant is worth the money and I would look to use them again if needed. Thanks for making moving way less stressful.

I am not someone who typically writes reviews, but my moving experience with Gentle Giant was so positive that I felt compelled to share. Every aspect of the experience was ‘5 stars’. My move entailed pickups from two separate locations, and drop-offs at three separate locations, for a total of 5 stops.My first contact was with Andrew, who worked with me for several weeks leading up to my move. We went through 6 different iterations of inventory and logistics because I needed to update and amend the plan multiple times. Every encounter with Andrew was both pleasant and comforting. He eased any concern that I had, and was always available.On the day of the move, the head of the moving crew, Scott, called me well in advance of the scheduled arrival at the first stop to let me know that he and the crew were on the way. They arrived promptly, and immediately got to work. The entire crew – including Scott, Chris, John A, and Jon C – were all kind, highly professional, and had positive upbeat attitudes throughout the entire day. The team was flexible with changes that needed to be made during the day (including changing which address some of the items were going to) and had a ‘can do’ positive response to every request we had. This crew was first-class in every aspect.Overall, moving can be a stressful and emotional experience; however, Gentle Giant made the entire experience smooth and easy. I HIGHLY recommend Gentle Giant for any moving needs. I know that I will be using Gentle Giant for all my future moves.I want to sincerely thank everyone I dealt with at Gentle Giant – particularly Andrew, Scott, Chris, John A, and Jon C – for such a positive experience.

A friend recommended this company to me as I was getting ready to move. I was so impressed with their professionalism and efficiency.I had Scott Longmore, Stephen Ching, and James Attica help me out all afternoon. You'll be equally impressed if you get these guys to show up and help you move on moving day. Thank you!
