Custom Delivery Solutions celebrates key delivery milestone by giving back to a team member in need
TORONTO, Aug. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - Custom Delivery Solutions (CDS), the "big and bulky" last-mile division of Metro Supply Chain's transportation solutions sector, hit a major delivery milestone by completing its one-millionth delivery in a calendar year – demonstrating its exponential growth, innovative focus and emphasis on exceptional customer service. To commemorate this achievement, CDS delivered a special prize to a deserving team member whose family was negatively impacted by the pandemic.
Calgary resident Kristy Christiansen was nominated by her co-workers to receive a brand-new washer, dryer, fridge, range and dishwasher, a $2,000 staging certificate and a $2,000 check. Financially strained by COVID-19, Christiansen's family also suffered recent loss and other hardships. The CDS team chose the prizes based on her family's most pressing needs.
"Custom Delivery is about making every customer interaction a positive and professional experience. We believe every delivery is a chance to positively impact someone's life, and we stand by this commitment at every level of the organization. We wanted to use this incredible milestone to celebrate our team for the care they bring to our customers, our company and our world every day, and to also help someone in need," explains CDS President Cedric George.
