The Davey Tree Expert Co. appointed Don Winsett to vice president of national business development.

Winsett joins the Kent, Ohio, company with about 20 years in the industry, including time spent at ValleyCrest, Brickman and his own Florida-based grounds maintenance company that grew to more than $20 million before it was sold.

“Our clients will benefit from Don’s experience and contacts in the landscape and tree care industry,” said Pat Covey, COO. “Furthermore, his understanding of the needs of large commercial clients will assist in our ability to provide tailored, comprehensive property management solutions for them.”

Winsett also serves on the board of directors and is a past president of the Florida chapter of International Society of Arboriculture.  In 2009, he served as chair of the Sustainable Urban Forest Coalition.
