Member Monday

This week we are happy to feature ACE Relocation as our Member Monday! We asked Jim Hough, from ACE Relocation and member of Chamber Board of Directors, to provide us some insight on the company, as well as answer the following question: "What value do you find in being a member of the Chamber?" "Being a member and board member, I find that it is a gratifying experience just being with and close to these fine business people that are executives and owners of businesses in the Kyle area.  These people are not asking what the Chamber can do for them but asking what can I/we do to help the less fortunate. What a great crowd to be involved with!"

Choosing a company to move yourself, your family, your employees or your office is difficult and not to be taken lightly. ACE Relocation understands that. ACE Relocation is a family owned and operated business that began 1968, and has been running steadily and profitably ever since. Based out of California, they have 9 locations throughout the country, including our very own Austin, TX. ACE aids in over 14,000 relocations per year for individuals, major corporations, and even the US government. They offer services including residential, commercial, employee, and even international moving and relocations, offering payment options, storage services, and moving coverage.
