The Moving Man

The Moving Man is a family-owned Western Australian removal company founded in 1988 by Gordon Crawford and owned and operated by the Crawford family. It has been operating for more than 30 years and is led by Frank Femia. The business specialises in home removals and offers office removals, packing services, storage solutions, and home cleaning services. It serves the Perth metropolitan area and conducts express moves to country locations across Western Australia, completing most deliveries within 24–36 hours for pick-up and drop-off points within 1000km of Perth.

The Moving Man has depot points in Joondalup, Belmont, Midland, Kelmscott, Duncraig, Claremont, Mundaring, Osborne Park, Fremantle, Spearwood, West Perth, Morley, and Canningvale. Its fleet includes small vans and light trucks, medium trucks between 6 and 9 tonnes, and semi-trailers up to 100 cubic metres, with truck sizes ranging from 6-tonne/40 cubic-metre units to 9-tonne/60 cubic-metre vehicles.

Small vans and small trucks are used to access tight and winding roads in the Perth Hills. Hourly rate and fixed-quote jobs include workers' compensation cover, public liability insurance, and transit insurance for possessions. It has helped hundreds of Perth businesses with specialised services, including computer relocation and library relocation, and offers furniture storage services. Main services include home removals, office relocations, computer relocation, library relocation, and furniture storage.

Moves large and small, local and long-distance, recur throughout accounts of this Perth removalist team, from suburban shifts and a Wheatbelt transfer to an interstate arrival whose belongings were unloaded from a container. Customers writing about their orders describe crews arriving punctually, packing with enough care to complete the work in a single trip, and handling awkward jobs such as furniture brought down from a second storey.

A point made in several accounts is the communication maintained before and during each job, with calls and check-ins that keep clients informed while goods travel between homes, sit in storage for months, or are coordinated with a storage company. Frank is credited with organising urgent work at short notice and responding quickly to enquiries, while Tristan, Martin, Nick and Neil are named for being efficient, friendly and helpful on days customers found stressful.

Reviewers frequently point to that belongings arrived undamaged, that crews accepted direction easily, and that part-loads were split without fuss between a barn and a house. Services described include house moves, piano and furniture relocation, packing, and both short and extended storage of household goods. The willingness to accommodate second-storey access and last-minute changes stands out as a practical strength.
