Sunbelt Rentals earlier this month named Mark White manager for Sunbelt’s Southern California division, and Lawrence Pruitt manager for its Los Angeles division. White, formerly branch manager of Sunbelt’s Fontana, Calif., location since 2001, developed a team there that regularly surpassed service and revenue goals. He will manage branches in Fontana, La Mirada, Orange and San Diego, as well as a new pump and power specialty location.

Pruitt joined Sunbelt last year when the company acquired Brookstone Rentals, where he was director of sales and operations. He will manage branches in Glendale, Northridge, Palmdale and Lompoc, Calif. Pruitt has been in the rental industry since 1991 and has served as driver, rental manager, outside sales and west coast transportation manager.

Rob Courtney has been promoted to branch manager of the Fontana branch, replacing White. Courtney has 12 years experience in the rental industry, joining Sunbelt in December 2001 as outside sales representative. For the past two years, Courtney has been the top revenue-producing salesman in the region.

Sunbelt Rentals, based in Charlotte, N.C., is No. 4 on the RER 100.
