Grant Garrett named Bishop Lifting CEO

Bishop Lifting, a distributor of lifting products and solutions in the USA, appointed Grant Garrett as chief executive officer.

Grant Garrett is the new CEO of Bishop Lifting.

Garrett joins at a pivotal moment for Bishop, the company said. Through a series of acquisitions in the last year, the company 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. Garrett plans to continue Bishop’s growth, both organically and via mergers and acquisitions.

“Garrett has a strong track record of scaling great businesses like Bishop,” the company said. Most recently he was CEO at M&D Distributors. Prior to joining M&D, Grant held executive, director and regional positions 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,” Garrett said. “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 the largest provider of wire rope, slings, rigging, fall protection, and related safety-critical products in North America, according to the company. “Bishop’s dedicated employees help leading companies across all industries solve their lifting and industrial needs,” the company said. “With over 45 branches located strategically across the United States and Canada, customers have the advantage of accessing Bishop’s large breadth of products from any location. Bishop has been owned by Altamont Capital Partners since 2022.”
