Jacco de Kluijver said: “It has always been a pleasure to work with John, and we are very glad to have him back on the team. His skills and experience go without saying. For Genie, customer service is a top priority. With his level of understanding of the market, our customers’ business challenges, and Genie products and services, I have every confidence that John’s multi-facetted abilities will add value to our customer sales and service offering.”

Chandler added: “I am delighted to be back. Genie is a true global market leader that offers a level of product quality and innovation second to none. I’m also looking forward to rejoining the team and working in an environment where direct contact with customers is valued as the foundation of every business relationship.”

“As illustrated by a recent series of strategic acquisitions, today’s European market is highly competitive. As a result, for many rental companies, consolidating their business success in the long-term is a key concern. Furthermore, at a time when safety standards and technology are at a higher level than ever before, skilled technical resources are few and far between. Keeping machines properly maintained and safe to operate is an increasing issue, and it is alarming to see that contrary to what should be expected, standards are slipping.”
