Michaels Global Trading Featured in Rogers Business Interview on Toronto Office Liquidation

TORONTO, ONTARIO - Michael’s Global Trading continues to expand its role in helping Toronto businesses manage office closures, downsizing, and lease exits by turning surplus assets into recovered value, responsible material handling, and donation opportunities through a single coordinated liquidation approach. When companies shut down or relocate, the last stretch of a lease can quickly become expensive and chaotic. Michaels Global Trading focuses on reducing that friction by combining clearance logistics with structured resale channels and disciplined on site execution. 

In an interview conducted by Rogers Business, Michaels Global Trading founder Marlon McPherson described how the business grew from early hands on work into a full scale operation built for tight timelines and high volume transitions. That Rogers Business interview highlight the reality many tenants face at move out: multiple costly proposals, unclear next steps, and mounting pressure as deadlines approach. Michaels Global Trading positions its service as an alternative to disposal first thinking by treating office assets as recoverable inventory, not waste. (Rogers Business)

A Toronto case shared through the Rogers Business interview involved a premium office space with 11 floors of high end furniture, fixtures, and equipment that needed to be cleared. After receiving several expensive estimates, the client proceeded with Michaels Global Trading, which took on the project at no cost to the tenant and recovered value through an auction based resale program. That resale effort generated more than $200,000 in proceeds and involved sales to more than 200 buyers across Canada, reinforcing the strategic advantage of pairing decommissioning work with structured liquidation services.

The interview also pointed to the operational scale behind large office closures. In the 11 floor project, Michaels Global Trading managed an estimated 30 to 40 truckloads of scrap metal and e waste alone, illustrating how quickly material volume can compound when a workplace is dismantled. By integrating scrap processing and electronics handling into the broader liquidation workflow, Michaels Global Trading helps clients avoid bottlenecks while keeping projects moving through building constraints like elevator schedules, loading access, and floor by floor staging. 

Speed is often the deciding factor in office closures. In the Rogers Business interview, McPherson noted the company can mobilize quickly, with crews able to be onsite as early as the next day when circumstances require immediate action. That ability supports businesses facing compressed timelines and allows stakeholders to maintain control over the closeout process rather than reacting to last minute obstacles. (Rogers Business)

Michaels Global Trading also facilitates office furniture donation services for usable items where appropriate, helping businesses redirect furniture and equipment away from landfill while supporting community reuse goals. Together, these capabilities demonstrate how Michaels Global Trading integrates liquidation, removal logistics, resale, scrap management, and donation coordination into one end to end solution for Toronto businesses navigating transition.
