Meet Kerry O'Brien
 
Kerry O’Brien is the face and principal contact at Aitkin Cranes. Kerry has 28 years’ experience in the industry with almost a decade at Aitkin Cranes, having begun with the company as National Manager in 1995.

“At that time we had twenty cranes in the Aitkin fleet,” Kerry said. “This grew steadily to 50 units and then there has been rapid expansion over the past three to four months to more than 80 units.”

“Eighty cranes in the fleet is a large pool of equipment for us to draw upon. It provides the Aitkin Cranes team with plenty of scope to supply clients with the right crane for every job.”

Recently Aitkin Cranes relocated its administration to the Melbourne suburb of Altona. With branch offices located across Australia, Kerry O’Brien is based in Melbourne but travels extensively throughout Australia to meet with clients and advise on supplying Aitkin Cranes for specific projects.
