Franchisees in the eight metro and regional Mr Rental stores in Western Australia will now get a state coach to provide on-the-ground support.

Brad Tappin joins Mr Rental in this influential role, assisting franchisees to create and implement their business plans, grow their business and provide crucial support while helping to grow the profile of the Mr Rental brand in WA.

Mr RentalÕs general manager, Alan Payne, said that extraordinary growth last year, which saw the opening of the franchiseÕs milestone 60th store, had resulted in the need for a coach on the ground in WA.

“While we were still growing in WA, our coaches in NSW provided this support to our franchises in WA, over the phone and through frequent monthly trips across the country,” he said. “However, the growth of the network in Australia, together with the phenomenal success and strength of our WA contingent, has created the need for a coach to be based over there, to offer a greater level of support and access to our tremendous team of franchisees on the west coast.”
