Big Foot Moving & Storage Inc. Wins AMSA’s Enterprise Award
Big Foot Moving & Storage Inc. of Arlington, Mass., is the winner of the 2014 Enterprise Award, presented to an outstanding small independent mover by the American Moving & Storage Association (AMSA), the national trade association for the professional moving and storage industry.
The Enterprise Award reflects AMSA’s and the industry’s commitment to recognizing outstanding performance among small, independent movers, which can be demonstrated in a variety of ways, including community service, employee relations, innovative operations, and/or exceptional customer service practices. The award honors AMSA mover members with less than $3 million in annual gross revenues and fewer than 25 employees. The recipient is selected by a panel of industry experts.
Big Foot is a successful small business that has earned excellent reviews from customers, including an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau. In addition, Big Foot has been a recipient of the Angie’s List Super Service Award every year since 2009.
Big Foot gives back to the community in a number of important ways, such as donating time and equipment to transport food each month to the local food pantry. Big Foot’s commitment to the environment includes a fleet of late model trucks that use diesel exhaust fluid to reduce emissions. Reusable crates are used on all office relocations to reduce waste, and customers are offered gently used moving boxes for a more environmentally responsible relocation. In addition, customers’ unwanted goods and furnishings are donated to those in need.
“It is incredibly exciting to be recognized by my peers across this industry for our business practices and community involvement,” said Mike Bavuso, President and CEO of Big Foot Moving & Storage Inc. “The American Moving & Storage Association is a terrific organization to be a part of, and I am honored to accept this award. I am very proud of my Big Foot team.”
“Congratulations to Big Foot for their success as an enterprising small mover that makes a big impact on the community,” said AMSA Acting President and CEO Scott Michael. “This company has set high standards for the rest of the industry, and I’m pleased to see an AMSA member recognized for their commitment to service. Big Foot is also a proud participant in AMSA’s ProMover program, which helps consumers easily identify a quality, professional mover.”
Each year AMSA recognizes the best performing and highest achieving individuals and companies in the industry. The awards program receives many impressive nominations reflecting the dedication and diversity of the business sector. Recipients have made significant contributions and enhanced the image of the moving and storage industry through hard work, dedication to customer service, and commitment to quality practices.
