Company information

Big John’s Moving, founded by John Healey in 1977, is a testament to the power of dedication and community service. John, originally working at a Manhattan fruit market, realized his knack for moving when customers noticed his truck and requested help. What started with just one truck has grown into a full-service, eco-friendly moving company, known for its professionalism and exceptional customer service. John’s hands-on approach, influenced by his upbringing as the son of a navy admiral, ensures that every move is handled with precision and care. Beyond business, John is deeply committed to giving back, supporting numerous local charities and community organizations, making Big John’s Moving not only a leader in the industry but also a pillar of the community.
