BUSINESS BRIEFS

Moving business earns top honors

Redmond mover Two Men and a Truck has earned top honors in a recent J.D. Power and Associates study measuring customer satisfaction among full-service moving companies.

The company’s office, located at NE 67th Ct., is one of more than 200 independent franchises operating across the United States.

Richard Clendenen is in his second year as franchisee of the Redmond location. He believes his team’s execution of the Grandma Rule – a proprietary approach to moving that is the foundation for the Company’s training program – has played a key role in gaining the top ranking.

“It’s exactly as it sounds,” said Clendenen of the rule. “We train our staff to treat customers the way you would want their own grandmother treated, and the result is an incredibly caring environment that exceeds the expectations our customers have.”

According to J.D. Power and Associates’ 2008 Full-Service Moving Company Satisfaction Study SM, Two Men and a Truck ranked highest in overall customer satisfaction.

The study ranked customer satisfaction levels among national moving companies based on responses from nearly 3,000 consumers who have used a full service moving company during the past 12 months.

It’s the second consecutive year Two Men and a Truck has received a customer satisfaction award from J.D. Power and Associates.
