Momentous Relocation has recently employed Shane Lewis as operations manager, and Paul Felton as costings manager.
From a young age Shane was involved in the international transport of antiques, as his family worked around the European fine art transport industry. As young as eleven years old Shane was inspired by, and wrote a book about, his father’s job!
Shane’s early career began at Sotheby’s fine art packing. After four years he was back with the family’s international transport business, supplying crews and transport to some of the large international removal companies. As Shane’s reputation grew he was able to extend his supply of vehicles and crews to the entertainment industry and further still, working for both the Royal Family and President Clinton on his State visits to the UK.
More recently, Shane worked with Cadogan Tate as its training officer, developing teams in all areas of the relocation business. “I saw the opportunity to grow with a great company and a great team of people,” said Shane. “I wanted to be an integral part of making Momentous Relocation the best in the business.”
Paul Felton started his career as a chemical engineer. However, a drop in oil prices found Paul working temporarily for OMNI. OMNI turned out to be a career changer for Paul, who worked for almost eleven years with some of the best and brightest moving companies around the world, attending conferences and meeting many notable and inspiring people within the industry. From OMNI, Paul worked with Team Relocations as costing manager, overseeing the costing of their contracts, tenders, and day-to-day pricing.
Knowing Paul Evans’ reputation from his success at Trans Euro and Interdean, Paul decided to pursue it. “After meeting Wendy [Smith] and the team I was lucky enough to be offered the position at Momentous,” said Paul. “As a growing organisation, I grasped the exciting opportunity to contribute to, and be part of that expansion.”
Paul Evans, Momentous Relocation Chairman, said that his company only selects the very best staff possible to join the company. “We are therefore delighted to welcome aboard both Shane and Paul, who will be based in the Momentous Park Royal office.”
