Westborough EDC presents Best Sustainable Business Award to Marks Moving & Storage, Inc.

Westborough, MA In recognition of their effort to help area residents in need via the collection, storage and delivery of repurposed furniture, appliances and electronics, Marks Moving & Storage, Inc., and its non-profit division Mark’s Northeastern Furniture Foundation, have been awarded the Best Sustainable Business Award to Marks Moving & Storage, Inc. The honor was bestowed as part of the Westborough Economic Development Committee (EDC) “Year in Review” Awards Celebration.

“We are humbled and grateful for the recognition of our efforts to help outfit homes of our neighbors in need,” said Mark Silverman, president, CEO and founder of Marks Moving & Storage, Inc. “Our entire staff works diligently to connect large donors of household goods to non-profit organizations with direct ties to families in need of a hand up. We act as the catalyst to pick up, store and deliver on that promise. It is an honor to serve others and make a difference.”

This year the event’s featured keynote speaker was lieutenant governor Kim Driscoll. The event was held on April 25th at the Forbes Building Great Hall, Westborough.

The “Year in Review” Awards Celebration is an annual event, hosted by the Westborough EDC, to bring state and municipal officials together with local business leaders to honor Westborough based companies and highlight the town’s impressive economic accomplishments.

“We are a resource, not a commodity,” Silverman said. “We’re focused on helping people solve problems. Often people and companies move and store things because of relocation to an assisted living facility, or as a result of a fire, flood or divorce. We also assist many local and national companies with expansion or downsizing. We want to help by moving and storing belongings safely, securely and with great care.”

Mark’s Moving and Storage’s offers a wide range of moving and storage services, including commercial on demand warehouse storage local and long-distance residential and corporate moving, air freight, container shipping, record storage management, disposal, packing and unpacking services, portable storage containers, warehousing and fire and flood remediation.

Since 2011, the foundation and its partners have distributed thousands of pieces of re-purposed furniture. More than 1,000,000 pounds of furniture have been given to individuals and local charities, such as the United Way of Tri-County and Household Goods.
