Team Member Kirk Tallman Wins Award
Kemptville Truck Centre Limited, parent company of Cornwall Truck Centre, has been named one of Canada's 50 Best Managed Companies. The company received the designation by demonstrating its business excellence through a comprehensive review of its management abilities and practices.
Team Cornwall member Kirk Tallman runs the Cornwall Truck Centre.
Kemptville Truck Centre sells and services the complete line of International medium and heavy-duty trucks at locations in Kemptville, Cornwall, Brockville, Kingston, Ottawa and Belleville. The company started out as a five-bay automotive repair shop in 1973 and has grown to now employ over 240 people.
Cornwall Truck Centre is located on McConnell Avenue, just south of the Highway 401 interchange. The operation includes 10 truck service bays, a parts warehouse and truck sales/leasing operation and currently employs 22.
Cornwall Truck Centre has experienced growth over the past several years as the City's logistics and distribution sector has grown. With the recent announcement of the establishment of a Shoppers Drug Mart Distribution Centre in the Cornwall Business Park, business is expected to continue to build.
"This designation is appreciated as it recognizes the professionalism and dedication of our entire staff", said Kirk Tallman, son of company founder Gerald Tallmand and manager of Cornwall Truck Centre. "Doing business today is not always easy, but having a strong partnership with International, a great customer base and living in Eastern Ontario make it rewarding."
Sponsored by Deloitte, CIBC Commercial Banking, National Post and Queen's School of Business, the Best Managed designation symbolizes Canadian corporate success, including management abilities and practices, financial and overall business performance and sustained growth through organization-wide efforts.
"This designation is a testament to our company-wide commitment to continuous improvement," says Kevin Tallman, Dealer Principal of Kemptville Truck Centre. "As a proud member of the Navistar/ International family and the local communities we serve, we're very excited to have received this recognition. We would also like to congratulate our exceptional group of more than 240 employees, whose hard work and dedication made this award possible."
