Sunbelt Rentals recently appointed two new vice presidents over the company’s Midwestern and Mid-Atlantic regions.
Jake Stout, Sunbelt’s product support manager since 1999, was promoted to regional vice president for the growing Midwestern region, which includes Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Iowa.
Lon Jenkins, formerly Sunbelt’s upstate South Carolina Division manager, is now vice president for the Mid-Atlantic region including West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and parts of Georgia.
“Both of these gentlemen have a tremendous industry background, but more than that, they are great leaders who will continue to build strong teams,” said Brendan Horgan, chief operating officer of Sunbelt Rentals.
Stout managed Sunbelt’s fleet purchasing and product support for the past six years, and was previously a national sales manager for Wooster, Ohio-based Rayco Manufacturing for 11 years.
Jenkins has been a part of tremendous growth in his region since starting with Sunbelt in 1997. He brings a wide range of Sunbelt experience to his new role, including rental manager, branch manager and division manager. Prior to joining Sunbelt, he worked for an independent rental company for several years.
