Birch joins Mammoet board

Michael Birch, a director at ALE, has joined the executive board of Mammoet, the world’s largest international heavy lift and transport specialist.

His move follows the completion earlier in January of Mammoet’s acquisition of ALE, a UK-based international heavy lift and transport specialist.

Birch has more than 30 years of experience in the heavy transport and lifting industry and was a director at ALE for more than 20 years. His wealth of experience includes business growth in developing markets with responsibility for global projects and fleet of record-breaking super heavy lifting equipment and cranes.

Mammoet’s executive board is now composed as follows: Paul van Gelder, chief executive officer; Jan Kleijn, chief operating officer; Kees Voormolen, chief financial officer; Ivonne Verlinde, chief human resources officer; and Michael Birch, chief commercial officer.
