Ainscough Crane Hire, one of the U.K.’s largest crane rental companies, has made several executive promotions. The company named John Lowton director, SHE-Q; and promoted Jim Fleming, previously manager of Ainscough’s Preston branch, heavy cranes depot manager. Peter Kernohan, operations director, will now include heavy cranes operations under his responsibility.

In the past two months Ainscough, which has 30 branches across the U.K., has acquired 20 new Liebherr LTM 1150-6.1 mobile cranes and six heavy lift crawler cranes.
