Denis Crane, President of County Heritage Forest Products, is the new Chair of the London Region Manufacturing Council (LRMC).

Denis is a founding member of the two year old LRMC and was instrumental in the success of the recent Buy London Reverse Trade Show. Denis also guided LRMC through a re-structuring process which he believes will enable the LRMC to grow in the community.

"I look forward to building on the many successes of the LRMC under the leadership of Dave Gardner. Now that we're well established, we want to begin to include more of the manufacturing sector in our efforts."

Denis replaces Dave Gardner as Chair. Dave Gardner has accepted a new role in Corn Products International (known as Casco Inc. in London) overseeing North American manufacturing operations and will be re-locating to Chicago.
