Specialised Force “Taking Hire Higher” with Kennards Hire

25 January 2016

Approximately 130 suppliers from across Australia attended the annual Kennards Hire “Supplier Award Night” at the Artarmon branch in Sydney on the 25th November 2015. The night was a fine dining experience designed to reward and acknowledge suppliers for their commitment and hard work throughout the year.

With over 150 Kennards Hire branches across Australia and New Zealand, awards were presented from surveys completed by Kennards staff members. Gold, Silver and Bronze awards were presented in the following categories that aligned with Kennards Hire’s core values – “Fair Dinkum”, “Every Customer a Raving Fan”, “Taking Hire Higher”, “One Family” as well as overall “Customer Service” and “Supplier of the Year”.

Kennards Hire CEO Liz Ward as well as key members of the Kennards Hire family attended the event including Angus Kennard, Rory Kennard, Cam Kennard and Andy Kennard. Liz said “Kennards Hire wouldn’t be the successful brand that it is today, without the support and loyalty of all of our suppliers, some of which Kennards Hire have been partnering with for up to 50 years.”

One of Specialised Force’s directors, Robert Rayner, attended the event and was delighted to accept the bronze award for “Taking Hire Higher” on behalf of Specialised Force.

Robert and Max Aldrich (directors of Specialised Force) said that “The Kennards & Specialised Force relationship is stronger than ever. Kennards gives our customers a chance to trial some of our tools and equipment before they buy, for a one-off/temporary job or if funds are unavailable to purchase the equipment outright. With the specialist “Lift & Shift” hire divisions and now the specialist “Rail” hire divisions across Australia, Kennards provide an invaluable service for us and our customers “nationally” as we do. This is why we value our relationship with the Kennards Hire team.
