Point of Rental Software Wins Hire Association of Europe Supplier of the Year Award
Point of Rental Software took home the company’s first Hire Association of Europe Supplier of the Year award last week in London.
Organized by Hire Association Europe and Event Hire Association, the awards represent the best in the industry for plant, tool, hire and event equipment. Independently judged, the awards are the pinnacle of the year for the winners and also those highly commended, with both companies and individuals receiving recognition for their outstanding contribution to the hire industry.
“We’ve put in a lot of work to figure out a new, hybrid workplace, managing our office’s growth, and how we can best serve our customers and the industry as a whole,” said Point of Rental’s EMEA managing director Mark Goodrum. “While happy customers and staff are the ultimate measure of success, the recognition by HAE EHA is incredible.”
The team behind Syrinx had previously won Supplier of the Year honors in 2014 as Higher Concept Software.
“When we brought the Higher Concept team into Point of Rental, we wanted to maintain their level of excellence while integrating the people and the software with our own culture,” said the company’s CEO, Wayne Harris. “It’s exciting to see that people outside the company feel that we’re achieving those goals.”
Point of Rental user Steven Jones from MHM Group had even more to celebrate on the evening. He earned two awards, for Workshop Manager of the Year and Hire Achiever of the Year.
