Both Jim and Laura Melvin have deep ties to the furniture industry and logistics. Laura’s passion for furniture was nurtured during an internship at a prestigious furniture company during college, where she gained expertise in design and ordering FF&E. Inspired by her father’s dedication to furniture design, Laura founded Careful With The China in the early 2000s, offering comprehensive pack and move services that cater to seniors and families, seamlessly blending her love for furniture with logistics.

Jim’s upbringing included learning from his father, who made significant contributions to development and expansion in the Triad region. After completing his education at UNC Chapel Hill, Jim ventured into politics in Washington D.C. before transitioning to the construction sector. Over two decades, Jim honed his skills in business development, logistics, and estimating, contributing to the growth and enhancement of operations in the construction industry. His expertise became instrumental as they expanded their services to include direct moving and delivery solutions for clients, benefiting from Jim’s wealth of knowledge and logistical prowess.
