Hilldrup

What Hilldrup does

Hilldrup is a fourth-generation, family-owned moving, logistics, and workplace solutions company founded in 1903 and headquartered in Stafford, Virginia. The company operates four integrated service lines: Residential Moving (local, long-distance, and international household relocations); Employee Mobility (corporate, government/GSA-approved, and military domestic and international relocations, including the Hilldrup Connect lump-sum support platform); Logistics (white-glove final mile delivery, FF&E installation for hospitality, healthcare, retail, and interior design, global freight forwarding, specialized warehousing, and vehicle storage); and Workplace Solutions (planning, program management, MAC management, furniture and asset management, decommissioning, and specialized facilities relocation). Operations are supported by 10 full-service branches across the Mid-Atlantic and East Coast, 1.5 million square feet of storage capacity (262,000 sq ft climate-controlled), and an owned fleet of 750+ trailers and forklifts. International capability is extended through membership in the Harmony Relocation Network and FIDI Global Alliance, with stated reach into 169 countries.

The technology stack is operational rather than transformative: a Warehouse Management System providing inventory visibility and inbound/outbound status tracking across warehousing and home delivery orders, delivery visibility and route optimization tools for fleet coordination, and a customer-facing shipment tracking interface integrated with United and Mayflower networks. Pricing is uniformly quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the company offers free virtual surveys for residential moves and structures enterprise relationships through multi-year contracts. The revenue model is professional services across all four lines, monetized through customized project quotes for households, corporations, government agencies (GSA), hospitality and healthcare operators, and higher education institutions. Customer concentration spans a distributed residential base (17,954 families relocated in 2025), a high-volume final mile segment (40,000+ deliveries in 2025), and named enterprise accounts in hospitality (Concord Hospitality/Tampa Element Hotel, Grand Bohemian Lodge), healthcare (Children's Hospital of Richmond), and higher education (UVA, University of Richmond, Elon, UNC-Chapel Hill).

The company is privately held with no parent corporation, no disclosed funding rounds, and no public revenue figures. Leadership includes fourth-generation family members in operating roles: Charles W. McDaniel as President and CEO, Charlie McDaniel as VP of Growth and Strategy, and Jordan McDaniel Hinkebein as Sr. Director of Internal Communications. Distribution combines direct-to-consumer sales (phone, website, virtual surveys) with enterprise field sales through branch account executives and partner networks for international work. Marketing is primarily content-driven (blog, moving guides, case studies, SEO) supplemented by social media and industry event participation (IAM, Harmony Member Day). Hilldrup has been a 27-time UniGroup Customer Excellence Award honoree.
