A veteran driver was named the winner of a lifetime achievement award during Wheaton World Wide Moving’s recent sixth annual Van Line Summit and Awards Gala.
Wheaton Vice President of Operations Kevin Miller announced Gene Giles as the winner of the van line’s annual award.
The award acknowledges the recipient’s enduring dedication, accomplishments and substantial contributions to the moving and storage industry and highlights Gile’s long-term commitment to excellence and the role he has played in shaping and advancing the industry.
Giles began his household goods moving career in the early 1980s, driving for an Interstate Agent for Wheaton World Wide Moving in Jackson, Mississippi, Wooten Moving & Storage. Since then, Giles has driven directly for the van line’s corporate team for almost three decades, winning several Driver of the Month awards recognizing his customer service and safety records.
“Gene’s customers frequently mention him by name in their reviews,” said Kevin Miller, vice president of Operations at Wheaton. “A recent testimonial from his customer said he should be training other moving company drivers in customer service.”
As a top rated driver, Giles was chosen to haul a special trailer featuring Wheaton’s support of Legacy List with Matt Paxton, a public television show that celebrates family memories during the downsizing process for older adults.
“Gene’s lifelong hard work and quality service over the past three decades have earned the van line numerous repeat and referral customers,” said Mark Kirschner, CEO of Wheaton World Wide Moving. “He is a valuable member of the Wheaton team and is highly deserving of the Lifetime Achievement award.”
