Kennards Hire, one of Australia’s largest equipment rental companies, has formed Kennards Events, targeting the entertainment needs of the corporate sector and large sporting and social organizations.

Kennards Hire, which celebrates its 60^th anniversary next year, is a privately owned rental company with more than 90 locations. Kennards Events results from a partnership with the owners of Barlens Event Hire, a major Australian special events company with more than 40 years experience catering events.

Kennards Events is the fourth specialist equipment division created by Kennards over the past few years, the others being more related to the company’s traditional equipment-rental business — Kennards Concrete Care, Kennards Lift & Shift and Kennards Groundcare.
