Gentle Giant Moving Company Earns Coveted Angie's List® Super Service Award

SOMERVILLE, MA (03/31/2010)(readMedia)-- Gentle Giant Moving Company, an award winning local and long distance mover based in Massachusetts, has been awarded the prestigious 2009 Angie's List® Super Service Award. This is the eighth time the privately owned national mover has received this award.

The Super Service Award, now celebrating its 11th year, is given to companies who have achieved and maintained a superior service rating on Angie's List throughout the past year. Fewer than five percent of the companies on Angie's List meet the eligibility requirements to be considered for the award.

"Our Super Service Award winners are the cream of the crop when it comes to customer service," said Angie Hicks, founder of Angie's List.

Angie's list has recognized Gentle Giant Moving Company numerous times for providing superior customer experience. With New York moving company, Boston moving company, Charlotte moving company, DC moving company, and Seattle moving company offices, Gentle Giant is able to create referrals and repeat customers across the country, which are the source of 80% of its business. The company has expanded to 17 moving and storage locations and is now celebrating its 30th year in operation.

"Our most valued achievement is the feedback of the many satisfied customers," said Gentle Giant CEO Larry O'Toole. "This award supports our belief that if you invest in your employees, set high expectations, and reward them for treating people well, your customers will receive the best care, and they will share their experience with others," said O'Toole. The company has made comments from several of its customers available on its web site.

Angie's List Super Service Award winners have maintained an "A" rating overall; have received a minimum number of reports; are not in the Angie's List "Penalty Box;" and do not have an unsatisfactory rating with the Better Business Bureau.

Service company ratings are updated daily on Angie's List. Members can find the 2009 Super Service Award logo next to company names in search results on AngiesList.com.
