Dec. 9, 2020 - Maxim Crane Works LP, has hired George “Jigger” Tanner to lead its expansion of a fully operated and maintained fleet of crane related services in the Mid-Atlantic region.
Tanner will be based in Maxim’s new Richmond, Virginia, branch. Tanner has more than 35 years of industry experience and is one of the region’s most recognizable and respected crane and rigging experts. He joins Maxim as vice president for the Virginia Division and will build the team with local crane and lifting experts. The branch serves the area’s need for tower, crawler, rough-terrain, and daily crane rental.
“I have known the Maxim Team for many years. I am confident that we will be able to leverage our operational experience and the entire Maxim fleet and team to support the region and all of our new team members,” said Tanner.
Tanner works directly with Monty Glover, vice president of Maxim’s Mid-Atlantic region to fully integrate and serve the entire Mid-Atlantic coastal region.
"We are excited to have such an experienced and professional leader join the Maxim Team,” said Glover. “Jigger’s ability to lead our successful growth strategy with a customer focused approach will ensure that we hire and retain the best talent available in the industry,” he added.
Richmond, along with existing branches in Baltimore; Charlotte; and Charleston, West Virginia, will provide our customers in the Mid-Atlantic with the most comprehensive network of people and facilities in the industry," said Frank Bardonaro, Maxim COO.
"We are extremely pleased to add the fleet, footprint and most importantly, people, needed to support our strategic growth initiatives,” said Maxim CEO Bryan Carlisle. “Jigger and Monty will lead our expansion into the operated and maintained services sector for this region while also ensuring that Maxim is able to support our customers with every type of lifting related service needed.”
Carlisle noted that Maxim already has nearly 50 cranes working in the area and will now focus on fully operated and maintained services, as well. “Our Richmond and Virginia market is an area we have supported from outside the area for many years, and the addition of Jigger and a full-service branch will ensure that the local market has a “one-stop-shop” for every type of crane rental," said Carlisle.
"This is a great opportunity to provide our customers with industry leading equipment, safety and service," said Tanner. "We are looking forward to joining the existing Maxim team and bringing the addition of fully operated and maintained services to the region."
Tanner added, "I have known the Maxim Team for many years. I am confident that we will be able to leverage our operational experience and the entire Maxim fleet and team to support the region and all of our new team members.”
