Denver is changing and growing... Fast! Tower cranes are all across the city building new structures. In fact, the most recent count we found says there were 28 tower cranes across the city of Denver, which is two more than San Francisco even. For some that might be "too much change/growth," but we seem to be in the happy medium of growth and change, whereas in Seattle there are over 65 tower cranes gracing the skyline. What is this growth like from a population perspective? From 2010 to 2017 we gained over 100,000 to this great city. It makes total sense why people want to relocate to Denver. We have a booming tech scene, an amazing culture, great neighborhoods, a lovely climate, and some of the best skiing in the world.
So the question is, what if you happen to be working at one of these tech companies and need help relocating some new key hires and/or business operations to this big town? Who are some of the best relo partners out there that actually understand the needs of tech businesses? Fear not! We put together a list of three of our personally tested relocation partners that we would vouch for any day.

If you or your employee loves your possessions, art, clothing, etc. and always cringe at the idea of movers throwing your breakables in the back of a truck, then look no further. Colorado moving experts offer expert packing services on-site, including specialty art and/or furniture packing (think grand piano or china cabinet). But, beyond that, they are very talented home organization and "clutter consultants." So not only will you get a great and safe move from point A to B, but you can end up with a more welcoming and efficient home once you or your employee is finally settled in.
We have personally used Cody and his team and it's very clear to us that they deserve their 5-star ratings on Google and Yelp.
