Godwin Pumps, manufacturer of portable rental pumps last week announced additions to the leadership of its Tampa, Fla. and Mira Loma, Calif. branches.

Dwight Kimelton signed on as branch manager of Godwin’s Tampa branch. Kimelton joins Godwin with more than 13 years of experience in industrial paint sales and marketing management and another eight years in equipment rental and sales.

“Our market in Florida has tremendous potential,” said Godwin president, John Paz. “We recently invested in a larger facility there, anticipating continued growth. Dwight’s experience developing new business as both a manufacturer and a product and service supplier fits the niche Godwin has carved out in the portable pump industry and will lend itself to growing the business in this region of the country.”

Steve Tao joined Godwin’s Mira Loma branch as its assistant branch manager. Tao has more than 12 years experience in the equipment rental industry, with particular focus on customer service and corporate and independent store account management.

“Steve’s experience in a high-energy, high-demand rental environment matches the pace we experience in our Mira Loma branch,” said Paz. “Steve has had to train and schedule employees; resolve billing and support issues; and sell and rent equipment. This is exactly the support needed to continue the amazing growth trend we’ve seen in California.”
