“Our primary concern as a van line is to continue Mr. Wheaton’s reputation for excellence in moving services,” said Mark Kirschner, CEO of The Wheaton Group. “His main focus was always on the families and the individuals we serve, and we as an organization strive to keep his focus in our sights.”

Recent Awards Won by The Wheaton Group

In 2020, Wheaton was honored by National Association of Senior Move Managers (NASMM) with the organization’s Margit Novak Award for Excellence in Move Management.
“We are humbled and grateful to receive the Margit Novak Award,” said A.J.

The Wheaton Group’s Corporate Social Responsibility
Wheaton was the first van line to fight hunger through the innovative partnership with Move For Hunger and continues that support more than a decade later, now supporting the nonprofit with each of its brands.
In addition, Wheaton is dedicated to supporting children with critical illnesses and their families through its national partnership with Give Kids The World Village (GKTW). This holiday season, with GKTW closed to high-risk families due to the pandemic, the Village will open to the public for Night of a Million Lights, a walk-through light show fundraiser for the nonprofit. The Wheaton Group will decorate Keaton’s Korral, the horse ride attraction that the van line sponsors at the Village, to show its support.
