NEW YORK, June 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- ALJ Regional Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALJJ) ("ALJ") announced today that it will change the name of its wholly owned subsidiary Faneuil, Inc., a leading national provider of multi-channel customer care and other business processing solutions. Faneuil was named after Boston's Faneuil Hall, where the company was originally located. Faneuil Hall was named after its donor Peter Faneuil, an 18th century merchant who was also a slave owner and trader. Faneuil, which is in the business of helping customers to constantly improve their product and service offerings through introspection, has taken this opportunity in time to dig deep into our own practices and history. In this process, the company learned more about Mr. Faneuil's business activities and determined that it must shift away from any implication associated with those activities.
"While there was no racist intent in using Faneuil as our company name, as we are learning and understanding the depths of systemic racism in this country and after learning about Mr. Faneuil's role in the institution of slavery, we have made the decision to change our name to stand in solidarity with the Black community," said Jess Ravich, chairman of the board of Faneuil's parent company, ALJ Regional Holdings Inc.
Anna Van Buren, President and Chief Executive Officer of Faneuil added, "Our organization has long welcomed talented people from all cultures and all backgrounds to serve in employee and leadership roles. Our diversity has been, and will continue to be, one of our greatest strengths."
The new name will be announced at a later date.
