Keith Winters has been appointed CEO of Crane Worldwide Logistics, taking over from John Magee who is leaving after 11 years in the role.

Winters has been with Crane for more than 20 years, including eight years as chief operating officer.

Most recently he served as CEO of Davaco, a company affiliated with Crane Capital Group, which Crane says makes him an obvious successor.

Company chairman Jim Crane says: “Crane Worldwide has built our success as a result of our talented people and our unwavering commitment to client service. I am excited that our CEO successor has come internally as Keith exemplifies all of the great values we have built this company on.”

Winters says: “Crane Worldwide is a best in class global supply chain and logistics organisation. I am honoured to lead our team of over 1,800 employees into the next chapter of our growth and I look forward to working alongside our clients to continue to drive innovation within this industry.”
