Located at 353–361 Johnston Street,
Abbotsford, the new branch is now open
for business. Andrew Lambert, General
Manager of Kennards Hire Lift & Shift
said at approximately 1,260m2 , the
Abbotsford branch is almost double the
size of the previous Richmond site and
will allow for future growth plans of the
business to be implemented.
“The move has been in the planning for
12 months,”Andrew said. “Securing the
ideal site in a central location and with
an area large enough to accommodate
expansion were critical factors.
