Suddath/Melbourne Receives
Agent of the Month Honors Fourth
Consecutive Month
Jacksonville, Florida, January 17, 2001
-- Barry S. Vaughn, President of Suddath Relocation
Systems, announced today that the company's Melbourne branch
was named
United Van Lines' Agent or the Month runner-up for four consecutive
months -August, September, October and November 2000.
Suddath/Melbourne was judged for this
award based on a combination of sales increases,
claim liability, packing standards, Safety Performance Ratings (SPR)
and other quality achievements. "Receiving Agent of the Month recognition
from United is an honor in itself, but to be selected for four consecutive
months is a definite reflection of the exceptional
service our Melbourne branch is delivering to our customers
on an ongoing basis. We are extremely proud of the commitment to quality
performance displayed by Mark Brandenburger, Melbourne's General Manager,
and all of our dedicated employees in Melbourne," said Vaughn.
United Van Lines' "Agent of the
Month Award" program, which has traditionally identified
"the best of the best" within United's agency family, has assumed
added significance in the context of United's
Quality Service Process. Agent of the Month winners
and runner-up recipients are recognized for going far beyond
the routine in helping United Van Lines deliver the very finest in customer
service, thereby differentiating the company from
every other household goods carrier. "Selection
as Agent of the Month is especially significant at United Van Lines
because of the overall high quality of our agency family," stated Bill
Beard, Executive Vice President of United Van Lines.
