Barry Natwick, president and CEO of Volvo Construction Equipment Rents, last week announced the appointment of Martin Moore as vice president, North America operations.

Moore will be based at the North America headquarters of Volvo CE Rents in Asheville, N.C. Moore is best known to the rental industry for his two-year stint as president of GE Energy Rentals.
