Kennards

Kennards is a privately owned Australian company with a long history, founded in 1887 by Walter Kennard. Initially established as a small drapery store in Sydney, the company has since diversified significantly and grown into a substantial enterprise. Today, Kennards operates across several distinct business sectors, primarily known for its self-storage facilities, hire services, and wine storage.

Kennards Self Storage is one of the largest self-storage providers in Australia and New Zealand, offering a wide range of storage solutions for individuals and businesses. Their network includes numerous storage centers equipped with various unit sizes and security features.

Kennards Hire is another prominent division, providing a comprehensive selection of equipment for hire. This includes tools, machinery, and vehicles for construction, DIY, and event management purposes. They cater to both trade professionals and the general public.

A more specialized service offered by the company is Kennards Wine Storage, which provides secure, climate-controlled environments for the long-term cellaring of fine wines. This service is aimed at collectors and investors who require optimal conditions for preserving their wine collections.

The company remains family-owned and operated, with a commitment to customer service and innovation across its various divisions. Its diverse portfolio reflects a sustained strategy of expansion and adaptation to market needs over more than a century of operation.
