Bishop Lifting appoints new CEO
Houston-based Bishop Lifting, a distributor of lifting products and solutions, announced the appointment of Grant Garrett as chief executive officer.
Garrett joins at a pivotal moment for Bishop: Through a series of acquisitions in the past year, the company has recently expanded its footprint into Canada, Georgia, and Kansas. With these additions, Bishop operates 45 branches across North America and has completed eight acquisitions in the four years since partnering with Altamont Capital. Grant plans to continue Bishop's growth both organically and through M&A.
Garrett has a strong track record of scaling great businesses like Bishop. He most recently served as CEO of M&D Distributors. Prior to joining M&D, he served in various executive, director, and regional roles overseeing sales and operations for multiple business units and divisions at FleetPride, HD Supply, and Harbor Freight Tools.
"I am thrilled to join the Bishop team as the company continues to scale its presence in the lifting and safety products and services market," said Grant. "I look forward to working with the team as we grow and expand our presence in new and existing markets."
Founded in 1984, Bishop Lifting is a large provider of wire rope, slings, rigging, fall protection, and related safety-critical products.
