Recently updated

Moving matters. In recognition of their effort to help Westborough and area residents in need via the collection, storage and delivery of repurposed furniture, appliances and electronics, Marks Moving & Storage, Inc., based in Westborough, and its non-profit division Mark’s Northeastern Furniture Foundation have been awarded the Best Sustainable Business Award to Marks Moving & Storage, Inc. The honor was bestowed as part of the Westborough Economic Development Committee (EDC) "Year in Review" Awards Celebration.

“We are humbled and grateful for the recognition of our efforts to help outfit homes of our neighbors in need,” noted Mark Silverman, President, CEO and founder of Marks Moving & Storage, Inc., located at 111 Milk Street, Westborough, MA.

He added, “Our entire staff works diligently to connect large donors of household goods to non-profit organizations with direct ties to families in need of a hand up. We act as the catalyst to pick up, store and deliver on that promise. It is an honor to serve others and make a difference.”

The "Year in Review" Awards Celebration is an annual event, hosted by the Westborough Economic Development Committee (EDC), to bring state and municipal officials together with local business leaders to honor Westborough based companies and highlight the town’s impressive economic accomplishments.

This year the event’s featured keynote speaker was Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll. The event was held on April 25th at the Forbes Building Great Hall, Westborough.

“We are a resource, not a commodity,” Silverman said. “We’re focused on helping people solve problems. Often people and companies move and store things because of relocation to an assisted living facility, or as a result of a fire, flood or divorce. We also assist many local and national companies with expansion or downsizing. We want to help by moving and storing belongings safely, securely and with great care.”
