Warren's furniture removal experience began back in 1966 with Warren Removals, then a one truck company which Warren built up to become the largest privately owned furniture removal company in WA. After 12 years Warren sold his business to a larger group and moved into management for two Australia's premium removals and logistics companies. He and his wife Dianne became business owners again in 1987 with the purchase of a Curtis Bros franchise in Queensland. More purchase and business expansion saw the Strickland's in the position in 1989 to purchase and take over the running of Walkers Moving & Storage a business on the north side of Brisbane. Together they have taken Walkers from strength to strength to now be one of Australia's most successful privately owned removals business with offices in Queensland and NSW and agents nationwide.

Born into a removals family, Adam commenced his removals career at the tender age of 14 working for his father's company during school holidays. Within two years of working full time Adam's talent and motivation was rewarded when he took over management of a new Brisbane depot for the family business. Time here, along with stints at a number of Sydney based national removals and a couple of years working in London has given Adam an enormous amount of industry experience for someone his age. Since 2001 Adam has been the National Operations and Sales Manager for Walkers and more recently also run's the ever expanding Walker's Sydney office. In 2006 Adam's wife Claire joined him in business as part of the Sydney Walkers sales team and together they continue to set the benchmarks for growth within the company.
