Ranger Lifting
has appointed Liam Mccaffrey in response to growing demand for its products and services in Queensland.
Mccaffrey, who assumes the role of business development manager, was previously a national infrastructure manager for a large generalist safety company, where his specialist field was lifting and rigging. He will immediately become the Queensland point of contact on national projects, before working mid-term to grow a team and establish a physical presence in the region. The company's comprehensive inventory in Sydney will provide necessary stock in the meantime.
Mccaffrey already has several key targets in mind that could potentially expand the team over the coming months, while relocating staff from further south is also a viable option.
