At the end of the HIRE22 show, The Hire and Rental Industry Association presented this year’s Hire Industry Excellence Awards in Adelaide, Australia, naming Point of Rental the HRIA Supplier of the year in the software/services category. The Hire Industry Excellence Awards are an annual awards program intended to award industry professionals and suppliers that have gone the extra mile to deliver superior service and production.
“It’s an honor to be able to be here and accept this on behalf of our team,” said Point of Rental’s APAC managing director Dave Cameron. “Last month we celebrated our 40th birthday as a company. We attribute our longevity and success, at least in part, to our ability to continually challenge ourselves and innovate, but it's our customers' needs that really drive us. Thank you to our customers for helping us deliver great software and outstanding service.”
The HRIA Supplier of the Year award caps off a month that saw Point of Rental earn HAE Supplier of the Year honors and InTents’ Reader’s Choice Award for Best Rental Software on the heels of celebrating the company’s 40th anniversary. Earlier this year, Point of Rental took the Bronze Award in RER’s annual Innovative Product Award, as well as winning in the software category.
