Canadian Rental Service to recognize Rental Operator of the Year at the Rental Mart
For 35 years now, Canadian Rental Service magazine has been talking to and about the companies in Canada’s rental industry and the men and women who run them. In that time, we have seen hundreds of great examples of innovative thinking, determined drive to succeed and conscientious care for the welfare of employees and customers that make this industry great. As part of our mission to create a conversation among Canadian rental operators and help the industry grow as a whole, we thought it would be a good idea to take special recognition of companies that stand as positive examples, and reward them for their dedication to the best principles of the rental business.
The result is the Rental Operator Of The Year (ROOTY) award. Starting at the 2012 Canadian Rental Mart, and at every Rental Mart thereafter, the ROOTY will be presented to a Canadian rental company that has demonstrated outstanding success, innovation and commitment to safety over the past two years. It will be presented to company representatives in a special ceremony on the floor of the Rental Mart, at the Canadian Rental Service booth. Any Canadian rental operator, from any sector, may be nominated, including operators from the equipment rental and event/party rental sectors. A panel of five industry leaders will judge the awards according the following criteria:
Success
• Business growth
• Professional image
• Attractive showroom/yard
• Satisfied customers
• Community participation
Innovation
• New product offerings
• New business models
• Creative marketing and sales efforts
• Investment in maintenance and product upgrades
• Contributions to industry advancement and education
Safety
• Commitment to training customers in safe use of products
• Commitment to safety training for employees
• Offering safe products and safety devices
• Investment in proper insurance coverage
• Commitment to environmental protection
Recognize, or get recognized
Nominating a company for the ROOTY is fast, easy and free. Just visit www.canadianrentalmart.com and select the Nomination tab. Maybe there is a rental operator you have always admired and who you think deserves notice. Maybe you think it is high time that your efforts to run your business the right way be noticed and appreciated. Either way, the ROOTY award panel wants to hear from you. Good luck!
