Expanding the service area. Sharing the social hiring model.
Atripco is a family run courier company that serves the GTA and beyond and delivers everything from envelopes to skids. Owners and staff are proud of the company’s social initiatives. These initiatives have included donations for the Food Bank, Second Harvest, the Toronto Star Santa Clause Fund, the Children’s Aid Society, and the Canadian Cancer Society.
Their emphasis on service and community has made Atripco an ideal partner for TC. You can book deliveries by car across the GTA with Atripco through the TC online ordering system, in addition to your regular TC downtown deliveries.
As part of this partnership, Atripco has committed to enhancing their social hiring practices. Since beginning the partnership, Atripco has developed relationships with agencies that help individuals facing employment barriers. These agencies include COSTI Immigrant Services, Canadian Paraplegic Association, Microskills Career Foundation, and Job Connect through the YMCA. Atripco distributes job postings for all courier positions to these agencies as an integral part of their search. Working with these agencies, Atripco recently made 2 social hires – both men with families facing financial difficulty.
“We’re excited to offer deliveries outside of the downtown area for TC clients and we look forward to giving them the same great service we have offered for 40 years,” says Lindsay Service in Human Resources at Atripco.
Lindsay is also excited about their growing social hiring initiatives.
“We’re proud of our social hiring. We learned a lot about it from Richard and it’s happened sooner at Atripco because of our partnership with TC. I hope we can inspire other companies to do the same,” she says.
TurnAround Couriers is pleased to work with Atripco to offer clients a wider delivery service area, and to encourage social hiring in other community-minded businesses.
