Local Full-Service Vancouver, BC Moving Company

My name is Mike Dahlman and I am the managing partner for the You Move Me Franchise covering Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. We launched the business in 2013, believing that in the moving space, we were uniquely positioned to help people through a difficult time. If we could employ young and energetic people who really enjoyed the physical nature of the job and genuinely wanted to help people, we would stand out in the market. Our numerous awards and even more online reviews would suggest we are on the right track.

I started my entrepreneurial career in 2001 where I ran a College Pro Painting franchise while attending the University of Victoria. After university, I moved to Vancouver to help coach other future entrepreneurs as the experience I had in university had been such an incredible learning experience for me and I wanted to share it with others. After working in other people’s businesses as a manager for several years, I wanted to get back to doing something more entrepreneurial again and jumped in to help launch You Move Me.

Life’s not all work for me though, as in my free time I enjoy spending time with my wife and three boys. We love exploring the outdoors, riding bikes, playing soccer and baseball and even working out together. If you see me out and about feel free to ask me why we think plants make the best housewarming gifts.

Hi! My name is Mike and I’m the Operations Manager at You Move Me Vancouver.

I started with the Vancouver team in 2014 as a Crew Lead which gave me the opportunity to help lots of people have stress-free moves into their new places. Now I get to help build our teams by making sure they have the skills and resources that help them be at their best when moving folks throughout the Lower Mainland and beyond. Every day is different in my role and fresh with new opportunities to help improve how all our great team members can get you to your new home with a relaxed and content smile on your face!

When I’m not immersed in the day to day of You Move Me, I love to get out on some of the great hikes and mountain peaks in the area as well as lace up the shoes for an occasional run.

Hey! My name is Danielle and I am the Customer Experience Manager at You Move Me Vancouver.

I have been living in Vancouver since March 2016 when I moved here from Scotland and have been working at You Move Me just as long! I will be your main point of contact in the run-up to and during your move. I have been working hard with our team to make every customer’s move one that will be forever remembered.

When I am not at work, I enjoy travelling around BC on camping trips. I love the outdoors and where better to go than Canada’s renowned national parks!? During the winter months I enjoy disappearing up any of Vancouver’s local mountains with my snowboard.

I am excited to help you on your journey to your new home!

Hi! I'm Jeff, and I'm currently the Sales Manager at You Move Me Vancouver.

I have been part of the company since the spring of 2015 and started out as a mover and worked my way up to being a Crew Leader running my own crews! The satisfaction I have gained in creating a stress-free moving environment for every customer while running countless stairs and carefully transporting their contents through tight hallways have really helped me understand and manage our friendly movers as efficiently as possible.

Over the past few years, I have developed a great number of management skills and developed many long lasting relationships with happy customers all over the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley. I am proud of these relationships as it has helped You Move Me Vancouver grow substantially into a successful Greater Vancouver business as well as the role it has played in my personal development coming out of university.

During my downtime, I take advantage of our great outdoors and love to camp and hike in the most beautiful back country in the world. In fact, I enjoy it most when I am able to take our You Move Me team on these outings as we always have a good time bonding as we have one of the most tight-knit groups I have ever been a part of. I also love watching and playing sports, having played on my high school basketball, volleyball and football teams competitively and still play as a recreation past time. I am a die-hard Vancouver Canuck fan and try to go to as many home games as possible each season and am very excited with our new look young and developing team.

I look forward to meeting you in discussing the best moving strategies for your upcoming move!

Hello! My name is Alison Wardley and I have technically been with the company for approximately 4 years as a part-time mover. In the most recent job that I left I was a manager at a childcare centre and recently made the choice to pursue this career and learn how to best serve our clients with the call centre. I am excited to take on this role to develop new skills and new relationships to continue the growth of the company.

During my spare time I am usually at the gym. If I am not at the gym I might be playing soccer or multi-sport with the You Move Me team. I am an avid camper and enjoy unplugging on the weekends to explore the backroads of beautiful British Columbia.

I look forward to chatting with you and learning more about your moves!

Hello! My name is Matthew, and I am a Sales Associate at You Move Me Vancouver.

I started working at You Move Me at the end of 2016. I started as a mover running boxes and worked my way up to a Crew Lead running multi-truck moves. I then moved up to an Operations Manager, and now have enough skill and knowledge to estimate and assist you with your moves every step of the way to make it as easy and stress-free as possible.

During my spare time, I actively audition for acting roles in film and television, I am obsessed with rock climbing outdoors and indoors (especially with our monster grip strength fellow employees) and I love playing drums in my band.

I look forward to meeting you and helping you plan your move!

Hi! My name is Tanya I am the Office Manager for You Move Me Vancouver.

A bit of background of me, in the past 20+ years I have worked in Customer Experience for many small, medium and large companies. I've been part of the You Move Me family since Summer 2018 where I started as a National Customer Experience Manager working with all the different You Move Me locations across North America. In fall of 2020 I moved to the You Move Me Vancouver location to gain more of the business experience on the location level Sales, office, and so much more.

I absolutely love to see people happy and move into their dream home. Seeing this on a regular basis makes everyday at work not work. When I am not at work I love to travel, do outdoor activities such as hiking, skiing, swimming etc. and of course spending time with my son who is the joy of my life!

Fun fact: if I had to choose one meal i could eat for the rest of my life I would pick BREAKFAST (eggs, bacon, toast)! Sooo good! What's yours?

I look forward to helping you with your moving needs! Happy Moving!

I take great pride in ensuring our team is fulfilled at work and love supporting their own personal and professional development. Hearing our team say “this is the best job I’ve ever had” is music to my ears and a true testament to all of the hard work that has gone into nurturing our employee experience.

Hello! My name is Patrick and I am a Sales Coordinator at You Move Me.

I joined You Move Me in September 2017 and I have held many positions in my time here. I started out as a mover and worked my way up to a Crew Leader before jumping into Sales and Marketing. From there I took a step back into Crew Leading for a bit before transitioning into an Operations role, where I stayed until moving out of the area and now work remotely in my current position on the phones.

I spend most of my free time with my fiancé and our 2 little dogs, Bear and Violet. We enjoy adventuring in the great outdoors and taking in all of the beautiful scenery Canada has to offer. If we're not doing something together, then I'm typically catching up on the latest in the sports world or out playing in my own game.

I look forward to hearing about your move and setting you up for success!

Hi, my name is Arthur, and I'm a Sales Associate at You Move Me Vancouver.

Working in the moving industry for me goes back to 2012, when I was part of over 200 hundred moves in Australia.

Fast forward almost 10 years, here I am meeting with dozens of customers every week to assist them on their move, in the best YMM fashion: with lots of empathy, care, efficiency and passion for the service.

During my spare time, I'm likely to be doing sports (outdoors preferred), cooking or playing music, all while enjoying my time with loved ones!
