When COVID hit, Spencer says, the company’s growth actually accelerated. “We’re a beneficiary of infrastructure projects that governments inject capital into,” he explains. “For example, when you build a hospital, a lot of large equipment needs to get placed in the building. We’re the guys who move it into place. Or when you upgrade the heating or cooling system of a school, we’re the guys that take the old equipment out, and put the new equipment in.” “During COVID, the government was injecting capital into the system to stimulate economic activity,” he adds. “So, we ended up having a major growth spurt through COVID, and that’s just continued. We’ve been growing every year.” As part of that growth spurt, Prime Movers opened their second location in Leduc in 2021 in order to better serve clients in northern Alberta. Under the leadership of branch manager Tye Simpson, that Leduc branch has since grown from two employees to 20 employees and counting. Today, all throughout Alberta, Prime Movers’ services include: industrial moving; crane and rigging services; heavy lift forklift services; transportation and logistics; custom crating and packaging; storage and warehousing; demolition APRIL 2026
