TEDDY'S TRANSPORTATION CONTINUES RAPID GROWTH IN FIRST QUARTER
NORWALK, CT - April 16, 2008 - Teddy's Transportation System, Inc., a global ground transportation company based in Norwalk, CT, announced that it experienced double digit sales growth in the first quarter of 2008, further solidifying its leadership position in the crowded Fairfield-Westchester market. Many of its competitors have seen cut-backs during the period.
"2007 was a banner 75th anniversary year for Teddy's," noted Charles Wisniewski, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Sales growth earned us a place on Inc. Magazine's list of America's Fastest Growing Companies, we ranked as a Finalist in Limo Digest's Operator of the Year competition and were honored as one of the top 3 large fleet operators nationwide, and Teddy's was recognized as a Finalist in the Connecticut Family Business of the Year competition."
"Teddy's has continued its solid performance in 2008, experiencing double digit year over year sales growth each month during the first quarter. In March we successfully completed one of our largest corporate assignments to date, providing in-bound and out-bound ground transportation for nearly 200 meeting attendees from worldwide affiliates of one of Stamford's premier corporations. On-site coordinators facilitated seamless transport for our guests between the four New York airports and downtown Stamford," Mr. Wisniewski remarked.
"Some business travel purchasing agents view ground transportation as a commodity," observed Mr. Wisniewski, a past president of the National Limousine Association. "But customers demand prompt, courteous service, and will penalize any company that does not deliver that. Road warriors know there is often a vast difference in service levels across livery providers. At Teddy's, we also connect people through dynamic new avenues of communication, including online booking, as well as telephone reservations, technology that pinpoints a traveler's whereabouts in real time and innovative solutions that help corporate purchasers manage a worldwide transportation budget," he said.
Founded in 1932 in Norwalk, CT, Teddy's Transportation System, Inc. is one of the top 50 ground transportation companies in the U.S. today. Teddy's has redefined "professional transportation solutions" by forging a strategic network of premium global partnerships and utilizing innovative technology that provides corporate purchasers, event planners and travelers with access to immediate, real-time information.
