    Pearce has been a trailblazer in international business having worked and lived across Russia, Asia and the Middle East for most of the last 30 years. He earned an early reputation of a Russia specialist since the fall of the Soviet Union having lived in Moscow, Samara, Ekaterinburg, Vologda, Kursk and Tula from 1993 to 1995 and again in Moscow from 2003 to 2005. This time gave Pearce a rare insight to the bureaucratic workings of the Russian government as he worked on the State Asset Privatization Program during the tumultuous years of the poet Soviet era initially and later as the youngest Market Head in the history of Nestle. The initial years in Russia were formative for Pearce and led him to giving up a legal career in Ireland to follow the expatriate path – a path he has to date not left.

    Rick set this company up in early 2013 after a long career in teaching in New Zealand, UK and here in the UAE. He wanted a change of job and saw an opportunity to do something completely different, yet something that he believed that he could do very well. He started it up because after moving multiple times in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. He saw a need for a company to provide: • Quality personalised professional service • Reliable systems that work • Easy to deal with management and team • Moves at realistic and fair prices • Really effective communication throughout the entire process • Care and understanding of how fragile and precious items should be wrapped • Trained staff who knew how to do their jobs – not casual ‘stand in' staff who don't know how to pack a house He relies heavily on word-of-mouth referrals (Most of the business is referral—based) so he makes sure that he provides excellent service to each customer they move.
