Kennards Hire expands into Northern Rivers
Kennards Hire expands into Northern Rivers Region
Family-owned equipment hire company Kennards Hire has set up shop in Lismore, building upon its regional presence across its booming New South Wales network.
With regional NSW becoming more popular for those looking for a tree-change, Lismore is primed to become a thriving cultural and community city. Situated in the Northern Rivers Area, the new Kennards Hire branch anticipates helping local tradies and DIYers alike with their projects of all shapes and sizes.
“Kennards Hire is committed to offering great service with an extensive range of products and equipment. We are excited to be able to offer the people of Lismore the best quality service available,” Jim Green, North Coast area manager, said.
Having worked in the hire industry for almost 30 years, Green started out working for his father’s hire business, which he eventually took over. His business was acquired by Kennards Hire in 2009 and Green has now been part of the team for 13 years.
Teammate Jordan Tomkins has a similar tale. Son of the owners of the original hire company which previously sat on the branch location, Tomkins will continue to represent his family and their history in hire by continuing to grow his career in the industry at the new Kennards Hire branch.
“It’s a great industry, we are lucky to keep Jordan on with us,” Green said. “He is passionate about hire and keen to develop there is a lot ahead of him here at Kennards Hire. There will be lots of career growth opportunities for him within the business.”
Newcomer Luke Collier will help run the branch and the team is excited to continue to hire more Lismore locals to help meet the needs of the growing infrastructure industry, tradies and DIY’ers in the region. They’re also eager to start building relationships with the local community and are currently on the lookout for a community or sporting group to support as an extension of Kennards Hire’s family values.
“As a family-owned business, it’s important to us that we give back and continue supporting the communities where our people live and work,” Green said.
With an extensive product range, expert advice and contactless service and delivery, the new branch, which brings Kennards Hire to 60 branches across NSW, is equipped with a full range of hire equipment including earthmoving, lifting, site, landscaping, and general hire equipment to help support local industry, construction and DIYers.
The new branch is conveniently located at, 10 Lancaster Drive, Goonellabah NSW 2480
