Monkey Movers is closely monitoring the impact
coronavirus is having on the communities in which we operate. As always, our number one priority is to
protect the health and safety of our staff, customers,

We are grateful for the resilience, leadership, and
empathy of our staff during this challenging and
stressful time. Even at a time when physical
separation defines interactions between us, the
prevailing strength of our community is more evident than ever.
