You are the reason we exist so on behalf of all the members of the Crown Group we sincerely thank you. Crown's success is also due to the employees who have helped build the company over the past 45 years. Each, in their own way, has made the company stronger.

"It's been a very exciting 45 years of development and the most rewarding aspect of it all is that the Crown Group today enjoys a solid financial position, excellent management and staff, and a steady pattern of growth and development that will see us moving into the future as the only true global company in the international relocation business. Additionally, our records management and fine arts transport business have also expanded globally at a very solid pace."
