As we continue through this next decade, it is important for the global mobility and international relocation sectors to be aware of the trends influencing immigration. We designed this article to look at the influences affecting it so we can provide value to our friends within this sector.
In the 1970s, Burlington-based Taylor Moving and Storage witnessed transformative growth. Al Taylor, the company’s visionary, fostered key corporate partnerships, notably with Abitti, leading to 90-100 relocations to the GTA. Corporate accounts like the Royal Bank of Canada, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, and Bell Canada bolstered the firm’s revenue, accounting for 70%. Expanding operations into Quebec, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick, Al capitalized on Quebec’s political shifts, securing prominent accounts like Ciba Geigy and Baiting. Responding to Mississauga’s boom, Al established a second center there. The late ’70s marked their ambitious expansion to the US. The industry faced upheavals in the ’80s, but under Al’s leadership, Taylor thrived. Today, as we honor Al’s induction into the Burlington Hall of Fame, we celebrate a tale of resilience, adaptability, and unwavering commitment to people and community. As Al believes, “It’s not about where you start; it’s about where you’re going and who you bring with you.”
