BlueGrace: Here We Grow Again, Chicago Edition

One of America’s fastest growing private companies and the fastest growing third party logistics company in the industry has officially announced the date of its Oakbrook, Chicago office expansion. On May 23, 2014, the company will be hosting their official Grand Opening. The office space will occupy 2,720 sq ft. Until now the Chicago office only had one department which was Sales, with this expansion other departments will develop. We will have a full team of Customer Loyalty Representatives, Truckload Operations, Enterprise Representatives, and Diamond Desk Representatives. In addition to expanding this office, BlueGrace Corporate Headquarters in Riverview, FL just announced a huge build out where they will more than double in size.

The new, modern workplace which includes themed days and open social media policy and #FreeBeerFriday fosters an attractive culture for driven young professionals. The company’s leadership team has also adopted several and ongoing employee feedback systems which allow their employees at all levels to have a voice in change. From operational procedure to culture events and activities- the company is focused on keeping employees happy as their first priority; customers come second.

 “I know it might sound backwards to a lot of people, but keeping our employees happy is our first priority. You can’t effectively serve your customers if the people who interact with them are miserable at work,” says Bobby Harris President and CEO of BlueGrace Logistics.
