Stamford, CT – Bartlett Tree Experts promoted local managers Jeffery Kish and Erik Johnson to the role of assistant division manager. Kish and Johnson will now provide oversight of regional operations in the company’s southeast and metropolitan east divisions, respectively.

Kish previously served as the local manager of Bartlett’s office in Raleigh, North Carolina. He will now assist Vice President and Division Manager Stephen Johnston in management of 11 offices in the Southeast, including two newly opened locations in southern Florida. He will focus on employee development and recruiting while supporting the company’s continued growth in this region.

In the Metropolitan East Division, Johnson relocated to Connecticut where he will be working closely with Vice President and Division Manager David McMaster to manage eight offices. Under Johnson’s leadership as local manager of the York and Lancaster, Pennsylvania, locations, these offices received their first company award for excellence in safe work practices. Johnson brings this commitment to safety to his new role where he will assist the region’s arborist representatives and local managers.

Both Kish and Johnson are ISA Certified Arborists with experience in the tree care industry.

“It is so rewarding when you have the opportunity to expand the responsibilities of team members that are excelling,” said James Ingram, president and COO of Bartlett Tree Experts. “Jeff and Erik have shown their ability to effectively manage operations and employee development.
