1903 – 2023: Celebrating 120 Years On the Move
Since 1903, we’ve proudly served the moving, storage, relocation and logistics needs of our customers. Happy 120 years of continued business, Hilldrup!
“Since 1903.” It’s often how you’ll see or hear Hilldrup introduce ourselves when it comes to how long we have been delivering moving services to our customers and clients. But it’s more than just a year. It’s a testament to the 120 years that Team Hilldrup – from Maryland to Florida – has provided award-winning moving, storage, relocation and logistics services to customers across the U.S. and beyond. Together, we gathered in-person to celebrate this major milestone for our organization with our professionals who have made our success possible year after year.
On March 15, Charles W. McDaniel, President and CEO addressed all employees as part of a Town Hall presentation to thank everyone for all they do to exceed our customers’ expectations day in and day out, for 120 years! For context, there are roughly only 1,000 companies in the U.S. that are over 100 years old – equating to only around 0.8% of the over 126,000 U.S. companies. Charles reflected on the past and all it took to get to where we are, and he looked toward the future and the next 120 years. We continued the celebration by thanking everyone for an outstanding past year of success, as evident by our team’s wins and accolades during this year’s UniGroup Learning Conference.
Throughout the day, and across our 10 locations, employees celebrated our 120th anniversary with food and fun. Check out the details and photos below!
