The Davey Tree Expert Company is proud to announce the promotion of Brent Repenning to President of Specialized Services and Emerging Businesses.
“Brent’s success in growing the businesses he has led and implementing creative processes unique to those businesses, combined with a natural curiosity to learn about new and emerging technologies and business opportunities, makes him a natural fit for this segment of our company,” said Davey Chairman, President and CEO Pat Covey.
