In the lead-up to its 10th anniversary in New Zealand, family-owned equipment hire company, Kennards Hire, has announced the acquisition of Smiths Hire, a hire business in Kaiapoi.
Expanding into the Waimakariri district, one of the fastest growing regions in New Zealand, the new 7000sqm site makes it the largest Kennards Hire branch on the South Island.
The new branch will combine Pump & Power, Traffic and general hire equipment, creating a distribution centre-style branch to service the local Belfast region and beyond.
Belfast’s new branch manager Daniel Manning, said it is an exciting time for Kennards Hire in New Zealand.
“It is great to see a family-owned business evolve to bring their customers and communities everything they need to facilitate their projects, big or small. The Kaiapoi region has a long-standing history as an important trading centre. Kennards Hire is honouring that by making the new branch a true trading hub by bringing a vast range of equipment and services to the area.”
Having entered the New Zealand market in November 2012 following the acquisition of McEntee Hire, Kennards Hire’s latest branch opening in Belfast comes as it gets ready to celebrate its 10th year of operation in New Zealand.
