It's been a really newsy time in our industry, which is a good thing for us editor types. Every morning it seems I open my email to discover a new merger or acquisition, significant personnel change and new crane and equipment launches. It's good news that there is so much news to cover. A headline that caught my eye last month was that a crane company based in Arizona purchased a Portugal-based tower crane manufacturer. Now that doesn't happen every day, which is why I wanted to interview Patrick Stafford. While we didn't get to meet in person, our Teams call was enough for me to realize that this man is a shrewd entrepreneur with a heart of gold. Stafford discusses how he transitioned from being a helicopter test pilot to the crane industry. It's an interesting read.
