Admiral Movers was founded in March of 1989 by Scott McNelley and George Azar (a prominent local attorney) mostly as a high-quality, service-minded alternative to sub-par moving services with a specific focus on office moving and quality-conscious move services to residential customers.

With very little track record, we partnered shortly after incorporating with a small but very good van line called American Red Ball that is based in Indianapolis and thrived despite having very little national name recognition.

Since then, Admiral Movers has grown to be Montgomery’s most prominent premiere provider of moving, storage, records storage, shredding, and scanning to both residential and commercial customers in Alabama’s River Region.

In a small 7,500 square foot facility that was once home to a cotton warehouse and later a local beer distributor, Scott McNelley set out to reset the bar of service for office and high-end household moving and storage. Our story began with one moving van and an old 1976 pickup truck bought from George Azar. After reading so much about Ed Katz (the “Office Moving Guru”) in Atlanta, McNelley and Azar decided to go over and take a seminar from Mr. Katz and so began the trek. Katz remains a close confidant and advisor to McNelley and the company. Hard work determination and never being satisfied has driven Admiral to be Montgomery‘s Only True Office Mover! Becoming one of the leading office mover in the Southeast has only driven Admiral harder to be the best.
