E. Stiewing, Inc., Milford, Conn., has been recognized as Mayflower Transit’s Agent of the Month for August 2006, according to Steven J. Dawkins, executive vice president of Mayflower, which is one of the nation’s largest household goods movers. The agency was selected from among more than 440 Mayflower agencies eligible for the distinction.

Two agencies were named runners-up for the honor: Coastal Moving and Storage, Pensacola, Fla., and Boulevard Moving & Storage Co., Inc., Kenosha, Wis.

Mayflower’s Agent of the Month program recognizes agents that rank best in the areas of customer service, van hauling performance, and sales growth. Statistical measures are applied to all agencies that have been affiliated with the van line for at least 12 months, with the final selections based on this data and day-to-day coordination between the agency and Mayflower.

Mayflower Transit, with headquarters in suburban St. Louis, maintains a global network of 600 affiliated agencies. More information about Mayflower Transit and its services can be obtained through Mayflower’s Web site at www.mayflower.com.
