This was reported in the Mahwah Patch last year and is very worthy of a shout out in this forum.
Ridgewood Moving
MAHWAH (May 8, 2013) ─ Locally owned Ridgewood Moving Services
becomes an interstate agent for Bekins Van Line today. It’s a move that
Ridgewood owner Cindy Myer says will allow the company to offer more
services to clients and position the company for continued growth.
Bekins Van Lines and its parent company Wheaton Van Lines Inc. is the
fourth largest household goods carrier in the nation. Ridgewood Moving
is the only Bekins agent in the Ridgewood and Mahwah communities.
Change is nothing new to Myer, who took over the family-owned moving
company in 2005, after her husband’s unexpected and sudden death. A
stay-at-home mom with a degree in fashion, Myer’s only business
involvement had been ordering uniforms. However, she was determined to
keep the business, which had been in her husband’s family since 1966.
“Cindy has grown Ridgewood into one of the most respected moving
companies in New Jersey, despite the circumstances and despite the
economy,” said Bekins’ CEO Mark Kirschner. “Ridgewood’s mission of high
customer satisfaction and community involvement is very much in line
with Bekins, and that makes this an exciting new partnership.”
Since 2005, Ridgewood Moving has seen a steady climb, including a
double-digit revenue growth in 2012. In 2008, Myer became one of the
first female members of the New Jersey Warehousemen & Movers
Association’s executive board. Ridgewood is a certified WBENC (Woman’s
Business Enterprise).
Ridgewood Moving is the Senior Move specialist for The Alliance for
Senior Services. Myer contributed and was part of the moving team for
the book, “The Guide to Moving Mom,” written by Susan Bari Phillips
which provides a resource for family members who have to make the
difficult decision about moving elderly relatives.
A Ridgewood native, Myer is a member of the Mahwah Regional Chamber
of Commerce, the Ridgewood and Montvale chambers of commerce, Woman
President Organization, New Jersey Association of Women Business Owners
and CEO Round Table member of the Commerce and Industry Association of
New Jersey. Myer is a trustee on the board of Shelter Our Sisters, a
nonprofit organization that provides shelter and support for women and
children of domestic violence.
