Richmond, Vancouver-born Tester graduated from the Virginia Military Institute before earning the chance to manage corporate operations and business development at the company’s Vancouver and North Carolina offices.

During his time at M C Dean, Tester was responsible for project managing electrical and technology-based construction projects along the US East Coast, and Kitchen’s Crane and Equipment owner, Eddy Kitchen, is keen to put Tester’s prior experience to use.

Kitchen said: “Chad graduated from the Virginia Military Institute and has a strong managerial, engineering and business development background having served as operational manager for M C Dean.

“He will benefit the Company in expanding the sales and rental of their product lines including rough terrain and all terrain cranes, hydraulic platform trailers, strand jacks, hydraulic gantries, slide systems, rigging forklifts and more.”
