Five years after founding Monster Movers, William Antonelli and Sarah Christie-Antonelli decided to sell the company in 2004.
Yet, seeing an opportunity for improvement, the husband and wife bought the Worcester moving company back in 2010 and spent every dollar they had to rebrand and restructure the company.
For the second year in a row in 2016, Monster was named to the Inc. 5000 of fastest growing companies, including being a top 20 fastest growing transportation firms in the United States.
Last year, Monster volunteered to move Worcester makerspace Technopia for free to its new location, along with its partner Think Tank.
As the parents of six girls, the couple sees the need to support education reform and programs like Technopia.
Monster for the last three years has donated its services to Cradles to Crayons, picking up and delivering thousands of clothes, toys and books as donations.
