Kennards moves into The Mount
KENNARDS HIRE’S LATEST
purpose-built branch is in Mount Maunganui bringing its branch network in New Zealand to 26.
Home to around 20,000 people and counting, the Mount is also a significantly developing industrial area, says Kennards.
“Between the port and growing population, the area is set to expand residentially and commercially with the new branch well positioned to offer an extensive range of equipment to support local trades, residential and commercial construction, as well as DIY enthusiasts.”
New Zealand General Manager, Tom Kimber (seen with staff in
the photo), says: “Kennards Hire is committed to investing in the local area and supporting growth and infrastructure improvements with our extensive equipment offering and great service.”
Mount Maunganui Branch Manager, Mike Perkin, is joined by experienced equipment hire professionals Craig Whitaker, Michelle Noble and Blake
Scrivener, the team offering years of combined experience.
The official opening took place on Thursday, 18 June and was marked
by an innovative “travelling opening” scheme, with the Kennards Hire Business Development Crew visiting customers on their worksites and providing their crew with a free coffee and merchandise to welcome them into the Kennards Hire Mount Manganui family.
