Tim Hughes started Movers Specialty Service in 1978 out of his one-bedroom apartment. He has built his life on developing relationships, not only with his nationwide client base, but also by actively supporting his employees and the community. Through his entrepreneurial spirit and purposeful focus on building this business, MSS has grown to become a leader in the relocation industry, known for innovation and exceptional customer service. Tim believes his employees are the heart of the business and has always concentrated on taking their best interests into consideration, resulting in our designation as a Philadelphia Top Workplace for 11 years in a row. He has demonstrated his passion for serving the community through his active involvement with and donations to children’s special needs and educational establishments, in addition to his environmental advocacy efforts.

Prior to starting MSS, Tim worked as a dispatcher for a nationwide van line where he developed his concept of a one-stop shop – a single tradesman who possessed all the necessary skills needed to serve the requirements of a relocating family. He also started and owned a variety of other businesses including fine wood restoration, off-site storage and software.

Tim holds a BS in Business Management from Saint Francis University. He has also served on several boards and advisory councils, including the AMSA Board of Directors and Worldwide ERC’s US Advisory Council.

It would not be a stretch to say that Tim “grew up” in the industry. From an early age, he watched his father build the business from his family’s garage into the leading nationwide provider it is today. While growing up, Tim worked various summer jobs within MSS. He officially joined the company in 2004 after graduating college. Since then, Tim has made significant contributions in a number of areas across the business. He spent 5 years as a Nationwide Dispatcher before transitioning to Manager of Local Operations, where he was responsible for overseeing our fleet of local trucks and service technicians. 

Today, Tim is accountable for developing and implementing our corporate and organizational strategy across the three divisions of MSS, ensuring that daily business operations are consistent with the strategy and vision for the company. Tim’s role includes integrating company departments and processes with one another and ensuring that the company vision is carried out, while also helping to maintain high quality standards both internally and externally.
