“Kenny brings with him a wealth of experience of improving operating performance and growing businesses successfully both in the U.K. and internationally, together with a deep understanding of our industrial end markets,” said John Standen, chairman of Lavendon. “He is the ideal candidate to lead the group through the next phase of its development and I am confident that he will deliver significant shareholder value.”
Kenny will begin his work with Lavendon Oct. 1. Lavendon, based in Lutterworth, Leicestershire, U.K., is a major aerial rental player in the U.K., Europe and the Middle East.
