LA CAÑADA FLINTRIDGE, CA - Big news has come over from Allen Lund Company’s (ALC) Vancouver, British Columbia, office. The transportation broker’s BC operation announced the promotion of Kathryn “Kat” Ball to General Manager.
"I'm excited and grateful to the executive team for this opportunity, and for their confidence in me,” said Ball. “To be joining the ranks of the hardworking and dedicated General Managers of ALC is an honor. I look forward to growing the BC office, strengthening ALC's presence in Canada, and continuing to develop and support the great team we have here.”
According to a company release, Kat received her undergraduate degree in English from Simon Fraser University, followed by a post-graduate diploma in Marketing and Sales Management from the University of British Columbia. She began working for ALC Vancouver, BC—formerly United World Transportation—in 2006.
In April 2023, the Allen Lund Company acquired United Word Transportation, and Ball aided in the transition as Assistant General Manager.
“I am very pleased that Kat is being promoted to General Manager,” commented Steve Baker, former General Manager of the Vancouver office. “She deserves it. Kat and I have worked together for over 18 years now. She is probably the most well-rounded in our office in every aspect of our business. I have no doubt that Kat will do well as the General Manager, and I am honored to be associated with her and looking forward to her continued success.”
