JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA, August 11, 2003 -- Taking steps to

diversified group of companies that specialize in providing global
moving, relocation support, storage and other transportation-related
services, today announced the promotion of Brad Estrin to Executive
Vice President, Sales and Marketing for Suddath Relocation Systems

"Brad’s promotion is in recognition of his outstanding

Mr. Vaughn further commented that the move was also designed to
strengthen Suddath’s executive management team and ensure the
