industry, Brendon’s promotion to this role enables Hirepool to further drive growth initiatives across the region.
Brendon brings 23 years of expertise in management and operational expertise within the equipment hire sector. His most

involved in some exciting technology and ERP projects, managed our training team, our internal audit process, and our
mechanical development apprenticeship program. This industry has evolved a lot in the last 15 years and it’s great to
have been involved in the development of the business and our team of over 600, however, I’m pretty focused and excited
to be moving back into an operational role."
