At operational level management from the CEO down respect, reward and develop there people as they know the importance of the staff on the front line. 
They plan for the future, see the importance of technology in the business and are great at reacting when they need to. 
I couldn’t speak more highly of this company and the hire industry in general. 
If I hadn’t of had an opportunity to open a company in another industry I would have been with Kennards for the rest of my working career. 



If you want a job where you can clock in, do the same thing over and over, and go home - don't apply. Working at Kennards isn't just about being able to pay your bills.

Kennards treats every employee like an extension of their own family,  and invest a lot of time in you as a person so you can be the best employee you can be.

I enjoy my time at Kennards Hire and got along with the staff there and the work was consistent for most days
Was let go due to structure changes even tho I was only working one day a week and was given no prior warning before the changes
Pretty much you can make it at Kennards Hire but it depends on certain aspects going your way.
For example, make sure you have some construction or trade experience before heading in, if you don't, better keep your resume fired up and on standby just in case as you won't get much work as a casual
And also, make sure you fit in with the boys club, otherwise you won't get far

Kennards has been a great place to work, happy here since 2012. 
The family culture is seen throughout the business with an emphasis on staff well being, health and safety. 
Kennards supports staff training  and encourages your growth at work with comprehensive training delivered to all branch staff, and to staff in all other areas of the business.  
The management is excellent. They are open to innovation, motivating and encouraging of new ideas and vision.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very slow and drags on, had to mdny people to do a simple job

Starting as a serviceman driver, I was quickly given the opportunity to advance into the Business Development team.

The company has shown amazing enthusiasm towards the succession of its staff.

This company takes 'one family' to a whole new level and I foresee myself being a part of this company for many more years to come.

Kennards Hire embraces equality and I feel humbled that no matter you gender or age, you fit perfectly in place.

I started working at kennards in 2013 and still working at present. The salary are good and the work are not that hard. I enjoying the work for its a long hours in a day. It's a big company, where we have a branch all over Australia. In the first 3 years i been a maintenance controller in Brooklyn branch and in 2017 of January I moved to thomastown branch as a serviceman / driver. For the reason that I moved is that it is the nearest branch in my place where I leave.

This place is a good place to work but the hours we work do not reflect the pay we should be getting with the cost of living, interest rate rises and fuel prices atm. We are short staffed which puts pressure on the other people working in the branches. Long hours, not taking breaks, less money is forcing people to find better hours and pay elsewhere. Don't get me wrong this is a great company to work its not the same as it used to be..
