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.

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.

Moving can be stressful, so leave the hard work to us! We’ll come the day before your move and pack everything for you. When you hire Gentle Giant to pack your valuable belongings there is the added guarantee that your items will arrive safe and sound at the other end. We take the necessary care and precision required to pack everything from crystal stemware to your baseball card collection like they were our own. If you want to pack yourself, though, we offer free delivery of moving boxes to your home too!

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.

Slaven Simunovic

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!

Gentle Giant has provided services for my 5K event twice now. I am absolutely delighted to recommend them to anyone in need of moving services. The crews and back office staff members are kind, responsive, caring, and go above and beyond to ensure a good experience.

Having never hired a moving company before, I asked my realtor for a recommendation. Without hesitation she said Gentle Giant! The process of getting the initial estimate was very easy, and everyone was very responsive. James A., Scott B., and Chris J. all did an awesome job on moving day! I really appreciated how they made sure to ask where to put anything that wasn't obvious and everything arrived undamaged. They even got my 9ft plant moved safely. Would definitely hire again and recommend to others. Thanks GG!

Scott and Micky were freaking amazing - quick, kind, professional and helpful. I had the best moving experience I have ever had (and I have moved a lot). They were easy to book and communicate with - their office staff was friendly and helpful and the movers were phenomenal. I would 100% use them again and recommend them to anyone who needs to move.

Gentle Giant was an excellent experience. They were very professional, cared for my property extremely carefully, prompt, efficient, and also were very careful with moving through rooms/locations. Both moving and the service of packing was done expertly and with an abundance of courtesy. Slaven, Ken, Chris, James, and Andrew were all fantastic. Andrew who handled helping the estimate and all the arrangements was also fantastic. A+.

I had an amazing trio of guys James, Jang, and Jack! The were very efficient and through. I was relived that the hiccups that occurred that day were solved. I felt so bad when they had to carry my couch up to the 9th floor (18 sets of stairs). The company was great and I would highly recommend this company to anyone moving. Thank you again Gentle Giants and especially James, Jang, Jack :)

We used Gentle Giant to move our entire house into storage and then again a month later to move us into our new home. We also used them for our last move. They're the best! The entire crew is very professional and they move quickly. We had just had our floors refinished and the house was repainted the day before moving. The moving crew was careful in bringing our furniture in the house and didn't damage any walls which is honestly amazing. I would highly recommend. Shout out to our move crew: Jang Yi, Mikyas Birhanu, Jack Wittenstein, and James Attica!

We love working with Gentle Giant! This is I think our third move working with them. They are extremely organized, professional and responsive. Our moves have all gone extremely smoothly with them. They have made moving day the least stressful part of moving each time. Scott, Ken and Mikyas were outstanding. Very grateful for all their hard work.

For 30 years I swore I would never move again because we had the movers from hell. Life necessitated a move that I was dreading, but Gentle Giant Moving Company were the movers from Heaven. They helped us every step of the way: they were thorough in their estimate and on moving day, they were punctual, helpful, and careful with our belongings. I hope I never have to move again, but if I do, I would call the Gentle Giants in a heartbeat!

Gentle Giant has been the best moving company that I have worked with. From the quick response from Matthew C. to the assistance with Dominique P. in organizing the move and dealing with an apartment change at the last minute, they remained positive and helpful. Our moving crew consisted of James A., Chris J., and Slaven S. was amazing! They were friendly an. This is the first move where nothing was broken or scratched, which is unbelievable for how quickly they were moving. They set everything up for us. They were ever kind enough to assist us in removing items from our cars. I will be recommending Gentle Giant to all of my family and friends. You will not be disappointed with this company.
