A Message from Richard
Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope that 2011 has got off to a good start for you!
2010 was a financially challenging year for TurnAround Couriers (TC), although there were many highlights:
- We ended the year with a staff of 15 – including 12 couriers – the most that we have ever had.
- We have now saved taxpayers over $500,000 (shelter cost savings, plus income support cost savings, plus employment agency services cost savings) since we began operations in 2002.
- We had the privilege to begin working for a number of prestigious organizations, notably RBC Capital Markets and RBC Dominion Securities (in both downtown Toronto and the GTA) and Burgundy Asset Management.
- We developed our partnership with Atripco Delivery Services, who help us with our client’s deliveries requiring car or van delivery service to the GTA. This has gone very well indeed and Atripco has also embarked on a social hiring campaign for its own operations.
- We donated $500 to Gateway Café, our largest source of staff in 2010.
We thank all of our clients and stakeholders for making this happen. Your business and your referrals make such a difference for youth who are ready to work and eager to make the most of the opportunity.
Please spread the word and forward this newsletter. With your business and your referrals we will continue to grow, save tax dollars, and change lives.
From the team at TurnAround Couriers, we wish you all the best in 2011.
Richard Derham,
Founder and Manager
