Brian Beaudry is Point of Rental's NI Content Generator. You can learn what that means, about filling in as an emergency guest, and learn about his ArenaBowl championship ring.

Let's meet Elle Fowler, our new Account Manager in Australia!

We welcome our first Australian guest to The Front PORch! Amy Mulligan joins us from Western Australia - she and her husband founded AJM Hire in 2019 after having wanted to open a hire business for years...only to have to close it as COVID and lockdowns hit Australia. But they're back in now and growing quickly. We talked to her about her background and running multiple businesses with her husband...

Let's meet Kirk Bennett, our new Software Development Project Manager!

Let's meet Laura Olivari, our new LMS Designer!

Let's meet Levente Szancsik, our new Implementation & Data Consultant!

We talked to Essentials Team Lead Ross Stratman about being a developer for many, many years, some of what he's done professionally, and how he went from wanting to be a cowboy into becoming a software developer. His website, which he mentioned in the episode: https://stratmansoftware.com/ Here's the wikipedia entry for the Collatz conjecture, if you'd like to prove/disprove it: https://en.wikiped...

Let's meet Manuel Acopa, one of our new developers!

Our software is always getting new features added! This time it's a pretty big development over in Essentials: Delivery Vehicles.

To celebrate last month's 40th-anniversary celebration, we take you behind the scenes a little bit to our internal "Ask Me Anything" Q&A webinar that featured CEO Wayne Harris, EMEA MD Mark Goodrum, and APAC MD Dave Cameron. (Note: we're taking two webinars and combining them as though they were one, because so much of the content would have been repeated otherwise.)

Let's meet Veronica Bowers, our new Senior Project Manager from North Carolina!

Let's meet James Robinson, our new Implementation & Data Consultant in our Reading, UK office!

Let's meet Rene Martinez, our new Senior Accounts Receivable Specialist in our Fort Worth office!

Ben Sinclair heads up Point of Rental's Canadian operations, having moved all the way from Australia to do so. We talked to him about the transition between countries, his hobbies, and what he's looking forward to doing in his new hometown!

Let's meet Elizabeth Bell, Point of Rental's new Support Administrator!

Peter Maginnis's journey has taken him through California's wine industry, through Australia, running a rental store, and self-storage. Now he's helping make inefficiencies extinct with Makinex. We talked about rental from the supplier side of things, learned about his fear of birds, and how kids affect his competitive side.

Let's meet Raidis Chacon, our new Product Specialist, and welcome another guest host of The Four, Heather O'Sullivan!

Let's meet Anne Thompson, our new Junior Project Coordinator & Resource Coordinator, and welcome another UK guest host of The Four, Sarah Crowther!

As our Director of Software Development for Essentials (and eSign), Robert Flach is a busy man. But that doesn't mean he can't make time for drama - or comedy - by participating in community theatre projects after work. We learned about Essentials and many of Robert's surprising talents in this episode of The Front Porch.

Matt O'Neill, our new Application Trainer in the UK, used to be a teacher. Those skills seem like they should suit him well!

Our new Customer Support Specialist in our Australian office, Jonathan Korakas joined fellow Australian Michael Pavlov to talk about his backstory.

If you learn just one thing about Andrew Heesacker and Arvada Rent-Alls by listening to this video, let it be how to pronounce his name. It seems like there's a pretty good chance you'll run across him if you're in the rental industry.  We talked about his journey to becoming President/CEO of his own company, and how he got the buy-in from staff that had been there since he was a kid. He had books...

Charlie Stratman is our new Lead Generation Specialist. He's looking forward to working with people that aren't hangry when they meet him (he used to work at restaurants).

Let's meet Kayla O'Loughlin, our new Marketing Coordinator out of our Australian office!

Paul Alleyne started in the radio business as a teen and has made his way to become a Tier I Software Support Technician at Point of Rental. He taught us all about being on the other end of the line for the emergency call buttons on a car and what it's like to work the night shift at a gas station. We even learned about the time he failed out of "jail school" - probably for being too nice.
