Rich Moore Named President of UPS Northeast District

Norwood, June 28, 2010

Rich Moore, a 24-year UPS veteran, has assumed command as president of the company's new and expanded Northeast District, directing small package operations in an area that covers all or parts of six states.

The Northeast District is one of 20 new Districts dividing the United States activated earlier this year. It includes the states of Rhode Island, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and the central and northern parts of New York State to include Buffalo and Syracuse and features a package-delivery operation with some 15,000 employees.

Moore most recently served as the manager of UPS's North New England District, which has been consolidated into the new District. He began his UPS career in 1986 as a delivery driver in the Metro New York District. He was promoted to business manager in 1988. Rich held positions in package, hub, preload and Industrial Engineering before being promoted to Metro New York District hub and feeder division manager in 1996. After an assignment as package division manager in the North Illinois District, he was promoted to Great Basin District manager in 2004.

UPS announced in January it was going to streamline its domestic management structure to improve overall performance by reducing the number of U.S. Districts from 46 to 20. Thanks to today's technology and the management strengths of its people, a District office now can oversee a much larger geographic area than in years' past.

As part of the realignment, UPS also is expanding its outreach to customers by strengthening local sales and marketing efforts. No package handling facilities have been affected by the consolidation of management offices, nor have any UPS drivers or package handlers.
