Suddath / Jacksonville
Welcomes New Vice President, General Manager
Jacksonville, Florida, December 19, 2000
-- Barry S. Vaughn, President of Suddath Relocation
Systems, announced today Dan Colleran will join the company
as Vice President, General Manager of its Jacksonville location effective
January 2, 2001. Colleran will replace Gerry Van der Linde, who has
held that post since 1991, as he retires from the organization
at the end of this year.
Colleran brings over 18 years of broad,
in-depth experience in all facets of the relocation
industry to his new position, including household goods relocation
and logistics services. He previously served as Executive Vice President
of the Beltmann Group/North American, where he managed the organization's
western U.S. companies as well as interstate hauling and international
divisions. As Vice President, General Manager of Suddath/Jacksonville,
Colleran will be responsible for overseeing the sales operations
and administration of Suddath's Northeast Florida moving and logistics
businesses.
"Suddath is headquartered in
Jacksonville, Florida, and the facilities here are
among the largest of our 12 branch operations," stated Vaughn. "We are very excited about the tremendous industry experience
and leadership Dan Colleran brings to our
organization. We especially look forward to benefiting
from his leadership skills as we continue to develop Suddath's moving
and logistics businesses in Northeast Florida." Vaughn went on to say,
"Dan is fortunate to inherit the strong management team developed by Gerry Van der Linde that will play a key role in this
transition." In addition to receiving numerous
Safety Awards from United Van Lines, Suddath's
Jacksonville facility has continually been awarded United's prestigious
President's Club award, which honors the van line's top revenue producers.
