I’m now part of a team that will take McCloskey and our partners to new heights, and the future is incredibly exciting!”

In his new role, Dean will continue the close working relationship McCloskey enjoys with its distribution partners, as well as identify and recruit prospective dealers.

“Dean’s experience with the heavy equipment industry globally will allow him easily integrate into and work with our dealer network to keep pace with the rising demand for McCloskey equipment,” said John O’Neill, VP, Sales and Marketing, for McCloskey International. “We look forward to continuing and building this momentum alongside contributing in a meaningful way to the business success of our partners and customers.”
