ALL THE RIGHT MOVES

UNDER DAN AND JERRY MARKOW, THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS FOR STERLING CORPORATION

- 

In Sterling Corporation, Dan Markow owns the largest commercial mover in New England. For many, that would be enough. But that’s just one division of a portfolio of operating companies that Markow has poised for sustainable growth in several sectors, including sub-zero storage for life sciences, renewable energy storage, and real estate. He shared with BOSS his vision for moving forward and building an empire with a startup mentality.

THE QUADRANTS

With roughly 100 employees in the field, from supervisors to drivers, modular furniture installers and helpers, the commercial moving division handles roughly 30 jobs throughout New England daily. That’s where Markow got his start, as his father, Jerry, started the commercial division in 1994.

Since COVID, a lot of companies need less commercial space than they did before the pandemic because significant portions of their workforce are now remote.
