Mr Rental in Malaga, Perth has proved itself a winning business by taking out two awards in the 2009 Malaga and Districts Business Excellence Awards, Best Franchise Business and Best Overall Winner.

Fred Morrell, manager of Mr Rental, Malaga, said “We were all literally gobsmacked when the second announcement was made. We were so hopeful and then thrilled at winning the first award. When the second announcement was made the feeling was electric — like a fantastic lightning bolt that came out of the blue. We are still buzzing and will be for some time I expect.”

Morrell attributed the double win to a number of factors. “Our national support office provides the support that enables this dream to become a reality for us. Our stores meet monthly so we can review our businesses and share our ideas. The sharing of ideas is invaluable to any business owner and often what you miss out on in small business. We pro-actively help each other achieve our goals and this win exemplifies this.”

Mr Rental Malaga was established in February 2005 and now employs four full time staff members.

Mr Rental’s core business is renting home appliances such as fridges, washing machines, televisions, sound systems, computers, gaming consoles, furniture and exercise equipment.
