Company history
Fisher & Son Consulting, Inc. was founded in 1986. Prior to its formation, President Donald Fisher ran Fisher & Brother, Inc. the second largest moving company in the Allied Van Line system. Its business encompassed both domestic and international household goods transfer. Initially, Fisher & Son Consulting focused on commercial office moving. With Don's expertise in high demand, he broadened his consulting practice to include domestic and international household good transfers. Working with dozens of corporations, Don's experience and insight has enabled him to save his clients millions of dollars. In advocating for his clients, Don scrutinized relocation practices, procedures, and contracts, often finding many outsourced services that were simply not cost efficient for his clients.
Today, Fisher & Son Consulting has emerged as the world's only relocation advocacy firm. Fisher’s team of consultants acts as watchdog for their clients, offering a broad range of services pertinent to managing the expenses of relocation transportation of household goods, both internationally and domestically.
Fisher & Son is not affiliated with any company providing relocation products and/or services, and are therefore able to provide independent cost and financial management solutions for today’s employee relocation environment.
