Huntsville Welcomes New Jobs: Total Quality Logistics Expands Office
Exciting news is buzzing around Huntsville, Alabama! Total Quality Logistics (TQL), a major name in the freight brokerage world, announced that it’s opening its doors to a brand-new office right here in the heart of our city. This expansion is poised to bring about 100 new jobs to the area, which is fantastic for the local economy and job seekers alike!
More Than Just an Office
TQL is no stranger to Alabama. The company first made its mark in the state back in 2014 with an office in Mobile, followed by another in Birmingham two years later. Now, with this new office in Bradford Office Park—located within Cummings Research Park, the second-largest research park in the nation—they’re cementing their commitment to our great state even further. Their new location will be at 5025 Bradford Drive, Building Two, Suite 150, offering easy access to the bustling business scene Huntsville is known for.
Kerry Byrne, TQL President, expressed his excitement about the expansion, stating, “We’re thrilled to expand our team and strengthen our ties in Alabama through the tremendous Huntsville community.” He highlighted the area’s accessibility and talent pool as key factors in their decision to choose Huntsville as their latest location. With over 10 years in Alabama, TQL is clearly invested in the growth of our state.
Creating Opportunities
One of the most promising aspects of this new office is its focus on hiring for entry-level sales positions. This means that there are plenty of opportunities for those looking to start or grow their careers in logistics and sales. It’s a great chance for residents to seize exciting new job opportunities right in their hometown!
Governor Kay Ivey commented on TQL’s growth, saying, “This expansion, which will bring 100 new jobs, is a testament to TQL’s confidence in our workforce and our thriving business climate.” It’s wonderful to see state leaders recognizing the importance of corporate growth for local economies, and TQL’s arrival signals good times ahead for Huntsville.
Huntsville: A Hub of Opportunity
But what makes Huntsville such an attractive place for companies like TQL? Known as the economic engine of North Alabama, Huntsville is home to over 1.3 million people and houses a variety of industries, from technology development and integration to advanced manufacturing. With such a diverse economic landscape, it’s no wonder that leading companies are setting up shop here.
Ellen McNair, secretary of the Alabama Department of Commerce, shared her enthusiasm for TQL’s expansion, noting, “This investment not only highlights our state’s strong logistics infrastructure but also Alabama’s readiness to support global growth projects.” The presence of TQL not only adds to Huntsville’s growing reputation in the logistics sector but also enhances the overall economic vitality of the region.
Community Support and Growth
Mayor Tommy Battle was equally welcoming, stating, “We’re proud to welcome TQL to Huntsville’s growing list of logistics providers and look forward to their continued success in the Rocket City.” It’s clear that city leaders are anticipating the positive impact this expansion will have on local businesses and the community.
Founded in Cincinnati back in 1997, TQL connects companies with shipping needs to an impressive network of over 140,000 transportation providers. They’re committed to offering a wide range of transportation and logistics services to meet the ever-evolving demands of their global clients.
