Link-Belt has appointed Josh Frederick as director of corporate planning and strategy.

He joins the company after more than 15 years with engine oil company Valvoline where he was director, strategy, partnerships, and Incubation for the past four years, having joined the business in 2013 as a laboratory manager.

He began his career in 1997 as a mechanical engineer at Chrysler before moving to Cummins in 1999 to work on mechanical and electronic configurations for engine fuel economy, leaving for Valvoline, in 2013.

Chief executive Melvin Porter said: “We are very excited to have Josh’s heavy equipment and business experience onboard at Link-Belt Cranes. We believe his background will be a key asset as we continue to build on the success of our last 150 years of operation.”
