On November 8th, Sakai Moving Center held its 8th Moving Service Contest, the "Senior Managing Director's Cup," a competition to showcase the quality of customer service and technical skills in moving services.
Seven teams that had won their respective qualifying rounds held across the country competed in driving, packing, transportation, and customer service skills.

This year's tournament has been adapted to changing times by introducing a new competition themed "Integrity: Returning to the Basics" and by including female staff members in the teams.

In the competition, staff members are placed to act as customers, and judges evaluate not only the skills to safely and quickly transport household goods, but also whether the participants are considerate and use appropriate language.
