STAMFORD, Ct. – Bartlett Tree Experts recently promoted Erik Johnson and Nicholas Martin to the role of vice president. Johnson manages Bartlett’s five offices in Connecticut and one in central Massachusetts. Martin oversees consulting services for the company.
Johnson first joined Bartlett in 2009. As local manager of the York and Lancaster, Pennsylvania locations, he led these offices to receive their first ever company award for excellence in safe work practices. In 2018, Johnson broadened his leadership skills when he took on a new role assisting in the management of all of the Company’s operations in Connecticut. Since that time, his regional team has continued to grow, expanding its client base and geographic footprint as well as improving sales even through the challenges of the pandemic.

“It’s not every day that you have the opportunity to make a positive impact while also developing your own career,” Johnson said. “For me here at Bartlett that’s meant not only contributing to the bottom line, but also being given the chance to help others in the company realize their potential.”
Martin began his career at Bartlett in 2011 conducting tree inventories as an inventory arborist and became assistant manager of the Bartlett Inventory Solutions team three years later. When the company began further developing the consulting side of its business, Martin was selected to lead this venture.
“It’s exciting to play such an important role in the formalization and expansion of Bartlett’s Consulting services,” Martin said. “We have a real opportunity to help clients in a new way that still dovetails closely with Bartlett’s core business.”
“The past year has been challenging in so many ways and now, more than ever, it’s critical to have leaders like Erik and Nick – the kinds of leaders that are dependable, but can still adapt to change and think creatively in growing the company and inspiring its people," said James Ingram, Bartlett’s president and chief operating officer.
