England Van Lines Releases Report Suggesting Large Moving Companies Have Edge Over Family Owned Moving Companies
San Jose, CA (PRWEB) April 21, 2014 -- England Van Lines has released a report cataloging the differences between large moving companies and smaller, family owned moving companies. The report entitled "The Big Versus The Small" was published on the 3rd of April. The report attempts to take an unbiased stance on the topic of various moving company sizes and the pros and cons of each.
When asked what the report represented to the company, moving specialist Brent Wilson was nonchalant. "I don't have anything against family owned businesses. We don't think that anyone is beneath us or that we're invincible. We're all competing in the same market, after all. But we do have the advantage of being part of a massive talent pool that's specifically built for this business. Family owned businesses have to work with the leadership they have, and ultimately that can be a major disadvantage when the competition is so fierce."
He also commented on access. "England Van Lines has more resources, and that means more momentum. It's hard for family owned moving companies to play catch up when they're starting from so far behind. Our managers have decades of experience, and they had that experience even before they were hired. All of us did. Working for a variety of other companies gives us valuable insight into how competitors function. We use that to our advantage. If you have a family owned business, then that's it. That's the one place where you get your experience. And that isn't always enough to ensure growth."
Leaders at England Van Lines have suggested that their ability to provide aptitude testing for new employees, and extensive training in specific areas of expertise, have given them a big edge over family owned moving companies, and that edge isn't likely to disappear anytime soon. Because England Van Lines already have so many locations cross country, it's easy for them to find the resources to compete with other local movers.
Sanders says he doesn't hold any grudges to the competition. "Every company is family owned at one point. We all started from an idea. But sooner or later, you have to bring in fresh ideas...and that requires fresh leadership. England Van Lines aren't afraid of change, and that's why we're always moving into the future."
