3PL Samaritan Award Given To Community Minded Logistics Provider, England Logistics

Nov. 14, 2012 - PRLog -- The Transportation Intermediaries Association announced that Salt Lake City based England Logistics is the recipient of the 2012 TIA 3PL Samaritan Award.  The purpose of the award is to recognize the good works in which the third party logistics (3PL) industry is engaged by highlighting a specific 3PL Samaritan effort each year.

Last year, England Logistics, together with its parent company, C.R. England, donated a significant number of service hours and more than $500,000 to local charities and groups.

"The TIA Foundation received more than a dozen nominations for the 2012 award and these nominations detailed the amazing contributions made by TIA members," said Robert Voltmann, TIA's CEO and President. "This year's TIA 3PL Samaritan Award Recipient, England Logistics, through the donation of time, talent and money has led by example.  They don't just talk the talk; they 'walk the walk,'" Voltmann added.

As the winner of the 2012 Samaritan Award, England Logistics has the honor of designating a charity organization to receive the funds raised by the TIA Foundation Charity Fun Run to take place at the 2013 TIA Convention.  England Logistics designated the Foundation for Children and Youth with Diabetes.

“England Logistics understands the role it plays in creating a more livable, fair, and equitable social environment.  We accept this award on behalf of all the employees at England Logistics.  Their willingness to go above and beyond for their fellow employees and community members is inspiring.  Their dedication to service often times goes well beyond that which is seen in the office and is unerringly commendable,” said Jason Beardall, Executive Vice President at England Logistics.
