The goal whether in a bull or bear market is still about keeping the customers satisfied. Less visible is the flip side of the equation: keeping employees happy and productive.
Even in the midst of recession, staying close to its primary customer base and giving employees an opportunity to work closer to home were the main reasons Clancy Bros. Moving and Storage moved its administrative offices and took additional 72,000 square feet of warehouse space in Dutchess County.
With a fleet of 75 trucks and 150 employees, 90-year-old Clancy Moving Systems took 40 of its 150 workers from its Patterson office, moving one-third of its staff to Dutchess where many werealready living, and freed up needed warehousing space in its Putnam County location. The expansion means Clancy will also become more of a household name in the mid-Hudson region.
Dutchess County Executive William R. Steinhaus welcomed Clancy: “The addition of Clancy Moving Systems strengthens the business base in Dutchess by expanding its diversity.”
Â
“We have multiple corporate and institutional storage customers, and they have driven the need for more space,” said company President JohnClancy. “We perform moves all over the globe, but 90 percent of our revenue is derived from the Hudson Valley, Westchester and Connecticut, and we have many residential and business services to offer the people of Dutchess County.”
Â
“Clancy is emblematic of what it takes to grow and thrive even in challenging economic times,” said John MacEnroe, president of the Dutchess County Economic Development Corp. “By focusing on their core strengths and exploiting their agility, they are able to provide best-in-class service to an ever-changing series of customer demands. We are proud that Clancy chose to consolidate here in Dutchess County.”
Clancy has outgrown its main warehouse in Patterson, New York as well as additional space the company maintains in Bethel, Connecticut. With the acquisition of the 72,000 square feet on Route 292 in Pawling, Clancy Moving Systems will move a large portion of its operation to the new Dutchess County facility, along with some of its local dispatch operations. The firm”™s corporate offices will remain in Patterson.
