Gulf Coast Business Review:
There are still unpacked boxes in the corner of Shaun Robinson’s office from his firm’s recent move to a larger space. The 28-year-old executive has seen such an increase in business at his moving company that he had employees taking calls and servicing customers while the firm relocated to larger space.
Robinson attributes the success of his company, Strong College Students, to finding a niche in the moving company market by striving to change the perception of moving from nerve-wracking to fun.
And by espousing values of sustainability, like its plan to install a biodiesel dispense machine at its location, the firm is nabbing demand from the burgeoning green consumer. Robinson, president and CEO of the Tampa-based moving company, says the firm hit record earnings for each month so far this year and is primed to hit 900 moves for 2011.
