Gloria Pugh, alongside her husband Dean Pugh, co-founded AMWAT Moving Warehousing Storage in 1997 with a vision rooted in exceptional customer service, employee well-being, and strong community involvement. Over the years, they have grown AMWAT into a full-service moving company offering local, national, and international relocations, as well as specialized warehousing and storage solutions. Under their leadership, AMWAT has built a reputation for reliability, professionalism, and community engagement.
A significant part of AMWAT’s growth stems from Gloria’s strategic initiatives. She expanded the company’s Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment (FFE) warehousing services, supporting industries like interior design, healthcare, hospitality, and retail by offering secure and efficient inventory management. Meanwhile, AMWAT continues to deliver high-quality moving solutions for every type of move, from local to global, ensuring clients receive a seamless experience.
The logistics of relocation involve much more than simply transporting boxes from point A to point B. As AMWAT has demonstrated through its commitment to innovation and precision, successful moving services are grounded in planning, coordination, and reliability. Whether assisting a family settling into a new home or managing the complexities of a corporate move, attention to detail is key.
This includes not only the safe handling of physical goods but also supporting clients with services that alleviate stress and streamline the process. The expansion of warehousing and inventory services has made it easier for clients to transition smoothly without worrying about interim storage or supply chain disruptions, adding another layer of convenience to the relocation experience.
Equally important to the moving journey is the condition of the space being left behind or entered anew. A clean environment plays a pivotal role in shaping first impressions and easing transitions. That’s why CleanFresh Care LLC has become an essential part of the move-in and move-out process for many. Their detailed cleaning solutions help ensure that homes, offices, and commercial spaces are spotless and welcoming—ready for new occupants or respectful of former ones.
Whether it’s sanitizing high-touch surfaces, deep-cleaning carpets, or removing residue from hard-to-reach areas, their work supports the same principles that define quality moving services: trust, efficiency, and attention to detail. In many ways, the journey of a move isn’t complete without the clean start—or finish—that thorough cleaning provides.
And while every move has its own challenges, maintaining cleanliness beyond that initial transition is what truly sustains comfort. Regular upkeep not only preserves the look and feel of a space but also promotes healthier living. That’s why many turn to Mountainside Home Cleaning Reno for ongoing support, knowing that their consistent care keeps homes and offices in top condition long after the moving trucks have driven away. With the right cleaning partner, a fresh start doesn’t just happen once—it lasts.
At the heart of AMWAT’s success is a commitment to customer satisfaction and employee happiness. Gloria and Dean have fostered a work environment where employees are valued, supported, and provided with the tools and training necessary to thrive. This focus on employee well-being and professional growth has created a strong, motivated workforce, which in turn delivers exceptional service. By prioritizing their team’s happiness, AMWAT has built a culture of trust, loyalty, and excellence that permeates every aspect of the business.
Gloria’s leadership extends beyond day-to-day operations. She has made significant contributions to improving consumer protections in the moving industry. While she has already worked to strengthen Florida’s moving laws, Gloria is now focusing her efforts on revising national laws to protect consumers from unethical practices across the country. This reflects her ongoing commitment to raising industry standards and ensuring fairness for customers everywhere.
Community service is a core value for AMWAT, and both Gloria and Dean are dedicated to giving back. One of their upcoming initiatives, the “Fill a Truck” event, will take place on October 17 in partnership with the Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce. The event aims to support Taylor County’s recovery after Hurricane Helene by collecting essential supplies such as cleaning products, tarps, and diapers. This initiative underscores AMWAT’s commitment to disaster relief and helping communities in times of need.
Beyond disaster relief, AMWAT actively supports local nonprofits and civic initiatives. Gloria and Dean believe in the importance of community involvement, whether through mentoring future leaders or contributing to local events, showcasing their dedication to making a positive impact.
As the first woman to serve as President of the Florida Professional Movers Association, Gloria has championed higher standards of professionalism and integrity in the industry. Her leadership, alongside Dean’s, continues to set the standard for excellence in customer service, employee happiness, and community involvement.
For anyone seeking a moving and storage company that values integrity, professionalism, and community, AMWAT, under Gloria and Dean Pugh’s leadership, is a trusted partner for local, national, and international moving services.
