US Markets Inc. (USM) has appointed a Great Lakes region account manager to its team. Alan Hunt, based in Nashville, is responsible for new and existing customer relationships in TN, KY, IN, IL, OH, MI, WI and Ontario, Canada. Hunt will be responsible for offering customers repair and reconditioning services, used equipment and re-rental solutions.
