Mr Rental celebrated their top franchisees, team members and suppliers at the annual Mr Rental Excellence Awards held on Friday night (26 February).
Franchisees, team members and one supplier accepted their prizes at the gala dinner held at the Stamford Grand Adelaide in Glenelg, South Australia.
The awards evening marked the conclusion of the franchise group’s three-day annual conference, which was attended by around 115 people consisting of franchisees, support office team members and business partners from across Australia and New Zealand.
Franchisees and suppliers were judged on a number of criteria including customer service, sales performance, franchisee support and business reviews conducted throughout the year.
Mr Rental CEO, James Nixon-Smith congratulated them on their outstanding performances.
“Our franchisees and suppliers went above and beyond for their customers and local community in 2015 and their efforts have been rewarded,” Mr Nixon-Smith said.
“We are extremely proud of their achievements and look forward to their success in the year ahead.”
The annual Mr Rental Excellence Awards celebrate the hard work of franchisees and team members across both Australia and New Zealand.
“It is an opportunity for us to recognise the efforts of our top franchisees and team members who have achieved strong results throughout the year,” Mr Nixon-Smith said.
“It is important for us to reward those who have put their best foot forward and continually strive to provide exceptional customer service and leadership in our network, shown dedication to growing the brand and demonstrated outstanding commitment to their local community.”
Mr Rental co-founders Kerrianne and Glen Hickman, who began the company in 1991 before it franchised in 2001, hosted the event held in Adelaide.
