A Century of Moving Excellence (Since 1913)

A Legacy Built on Strength

Over 110 Years of Experience

Since our establishment in 1913, Salmon’s Moving & Storage has woven a legacy of trust and excellence in British Columbia. It all began with Frank Salmon’s pioneering journey along ‘The Kings Way,’ connecting Vancouver and New Westminster. Frank’s dedication and vision set the foundation for what has become an iconic moving and storage company.

Our Story

Building a Legacy, One Move at a Time

From our humble beginnings over a century ago, Salmon's Moving & Storage has grown into a symbol of reliability and excellence across Canada. What started with Frank Salmon's determination and pioneering spirit has evolved into a legacy of trust and quality service that spans generations.

In the early years, Frank's dedication to his craft and his community set us apart. By 1915, his wife Jenny had joined the business, managing dispatch and ensuring smooth operations. Our company quickly became known for taking on challenging tasks, like transporting lumber from the sawmills of False Creek to burgeoning settlements. These early successes laid the groundwork for our reputation as problem solvers and reliable movers.

As the decades passed, Salmon's continued to innovate and expand. The post-World War II era brought significant growth under the leadership of Frank Jr., who steered the company through an era of economic boom and expanding horizons. By joining forces with Atlas Van Lines in 1972, we broadened our services and reach, establishing ourselves as a leader in residential and commercial relocations.

Our journey didn't stop there. For forty years, we thrived as an Employee-Owned company, led by Doug Kellough. During this time, we became the go-to movers for pianos, offices, and long-distance transfers, trusted by countless families and businesses. In 2018, entrepreneur Mark Hirschi took the helm, ushering in a new era of innovation. Under his guidance, we launched our International and Restoration Divisions, enhancing our ability to serve diverse and specialized moving needs.

Today, Salmon's Moving & Storage is proud to offer a wide range of services, from local and long-distance moves to specialized storage and restoration solutions. Our commitment to excellence remains unwavering, as we continue to uphold the values that Frank Salmon instilled in us over a century ago. We are honoured to be a part of your moving journey, providing peace of mind and exceptional service every step of the way.
