Founder and Director

Katie has spent over 35 years in the care and disability sector and launched Moving On in 2011, having identified a gap in the market for caring and empathetic relocation services to support rapidly growing needs, particularly within the senior community. With an absolute focus on clients and a full understanding of how stressful moving can be for them, Katie has built an amazing, like-minded team that is genuinely interested in and thoroughly enjoys what they do. Katie is widely respected as a pioneer and incredibly proud of the outstanding reputation she and Moving On have achieved throughout the industry.

Team Services Manager

Having trained initially as a nurse and attending floristry school in the UK, Suellen ran her own catering business in Edinburgh and eventually returned to NZ and opened a cafe in Auckland. It was here she met Katie, who enticed her to join Moving On, where she has been since 2018. As Team Services Manager, Suellen is responsible for team leaders and ensuring that service levels are maintained throughout the wider operational team. Suellen's reassuring manner and personable nature means she is adored by clients. She has an abundance of drive & energy, is an excellent mentor, and expects high standards (nothing that she wouldn't deliver herself).

Operations Manager

With a dynamic career encompassing running his own advisory business in the construction industry interspersed with professional rugby contracts at both Moana Pasifika and North Harbour Rugby Union, Poui brings a unique skill set to Moving On. After joining Moving On in early 2025 and spending his first 6 months learning about every aspect of the business, Poui accepted the hugely important Operations Manager role in July and is relishing the challenge to help the team navigate what is likely to be rapid period of growth over the upcoming months. After being on the road a lot in recent years Poui is looking forward to being more office-based and also having more time with his young (and growing) family - with the occasional club rugby match to keep his hand in!

Business Manager

David joined Moving On in early 2024, having worked in international Franchising for over 20 years. His experience includes developing and managing the New Zealand Natural Ice Cream Franchise network in Asia and the Pacific, managing the Mövenpick retail network in Australia & New Zealand, and franchising consultancy with small and growing businesses (including Moving On!). Before that, David had spent 20 years in Europe working (and relocating often) at a senior level with multinational corporations and consultancies before returning to NZ in 2002. 

Accounts

Courtney worked overseas as an events manager for a prestigious Hotel group and, on her return, as a flight attendant for Air New Zealand. After having her first child, she joined Moving On as an operations coordinator but then left to have her second child 2 years later. Back with Moving On after the birth of her second child, Courtney is now in an admin role sorting payroll and accounts. Courtney is efficient, warm and highly organised. She assists operations with bookings and overflows, always with a great smile, and nothing is too much trouble.

Customer Services

If you get Steph on the phone, you will immediately feel at ease and reassured that everything is under control. Steph manages all enquiries and personally answers any questions and concerns. She has a comforting, strong, genuine manner, and she appreciates the challenges moving can bring. Her 40 years as an educator, mentor, and role model will give you peace of mind.
