The Challenge: It’s Not Just a Desk, It’s a Vault

Moving the general staff is about volume. Moving the C-Suite is about discretion.

When you relocate a CEO, General Counsel, or Founder, you are moving the nervous system of the company. Standard moving procedures do not apply.

• The Risk: A "standard" mover puts the CEO’s files on the same truck as the breakroom refrigerator.

• The Nightmare: A confidential merger document falls out of a crate in the loading dock. A signed Dali print is scratched by a loose task chair.

The Executive Assistant’s job is on the line if this goes wrong. We don't just move these offices; we secure them.

The Protocol: The "Shadow Team" Approach

For Executive Suites, CPM One Source deploys a specialized "White Glove" protocol that operates separately from the main move.

1. The "Lock & Key" Chain of Custody

• Standard Move: Crates are tagged and placed on a truck.

• Executive Move: We provide locking, tamper-evident rolling carts (Red Bins) for sensitive IP.

• The Chain: The Executive Assistant (EA) locks the bin. They keep the only key. The bin is never opened until it reaches the destination office. We simply transport the "vault."

2. Visual Privacy & Discretion

• Executives often have sensitive items (deal toys, awards, family photos) that shouldn't be seen by the general crew.

• We use Opaque Wrapping and "Privacy Screens" during the pack-out. What happens in the C-Suite stays in the C-Suite.

3. Fine Art & Legacy Assets

• Executive offices often house the company’s art collection.

• We don't use bubble wrap. We use Custom Crating. Our team builds wood crates lined with archival foam for paintings, sculptures, and legacy architectural models. We treat the CEO's office like a museum exhibit.

The Timeline: "Last Out, First In"

The CEO cannot be offline. While the general staff might have a 24-hour downtime window, the Executive Suite must remain operational until the last possible second.

The "White Glove" Schedule:

• Friday, 4:00 PM: The "Shadow Team" arrives after the main crew has finished the general floor.

• The Pack: We pack the executive suite in 3 hours using dedicated, quiet crews.

• Saturday Morning: The Executive Suite is the first thing unloaded at the new HQ.

• The Setup: By Saturday noon, the desk is positioned, the artwork is hung, and the IT is live.

• The Result: When the CEO walks in on Monday, it looks like they never left.

The Checklist: Demands for the EA

If you are an Executive Assistant planning this move, demand these three things from your mover:

• [ ] NDA Compliance: Are the specific crew members handling the C-Suite signed to strict Non-Disclosure Agreements?

• [ ] Dedicated Truck: Will the Executive assets be mixed with general inventory, or are they on a dedicated, sealed vehicle? (Demand the dedicated truck).

• [ ] The "White Glove" Lead: Is there a specific Project Manager assigned solely to the Executive Wing, separate from the general move lead?

The Bottom Line

The cost of moving an Executive Suite is negligible compared to the cost of a security breach or a damaged reputation.

Do not let a "bulk mover" handle the boardroom. CPM One Source provides the privacy, security, and speed that leadership demands.
