January 28, 2008 // Franchising.com // (LANGHORNE, PA) – Bill Ellis, franchise owner of Volvo Rents stores at 1250 Wood Lane, and one in Somerville N.J., was recently named Supplier of the Year of the Associated Builders and Contractors' (ABC) Southeastern Pennsylvania chapter.

A three-year active member of the ABC, Ellis opened the Volvo Rents store in Langhorne in 2005 after spending 12 years working in institution equity sales on Wall Street.

"We truly enjoy working with members of the ABC organization to support their projects, and we intend to keep offering quality service," Ellis said. "We greatly appreciate this honor, and look forward to continuing to deliver above expectations."

Jeff Zeh, president and CEO of the ABC, said Ellis' active involvement in the chapter, notably his support of the organization's new apprenticeship training facility, stood out among award nominees. "Bill's commitment to ABC is an extension of the quality of service Volvo Rents has provided to our contractor members," he said.
