PEOPLE AND ENGAGEMENT

"Over the decades I've been to scores of Kennards storage sites around greater Sydney but please take my word Penrith stacks up as one of the easiest, friendliest and cleanest around town. The building is large and the conveniently situated office is stocked with all the wrapping and moving accessories you need. And Kennards boxes, they're the best by far, sturdy and reusable. But the top stars go to the staff: Happy, welcoming and on the ball. Big thanks to all." "We used Kennards Frenchs Forest recently to store our items whilst travelling. The storage itself was well priced, clean and tidy and had equipment on hand to help move (trolleys, lifts, ramps etc). Special shout out to Bob who helped us find the right storage in the first instance. He went above and beyond to give us all the options. He also noted we’d moved out of our storage and proactively called us to check + arrange a refund ensuring we got the maximum refund for time not used. Would opt for this storage again, thanks!" "I had a last-minute life event and needed to quickly find a place to store my belongings. I was fortunate to contact Kennards Self Storage Warana. They were incredibly proactive and went above and beyond to ensure I had a storage unit available. When I visited the Warana office, Aniket clearly explained all the processes I needed to know. Both Aniket and the Customer Service representa- tive I spoke with on the phone were friendly, supportive and reassuring throughout the entire experience. I can’t recommend Warana highly enough, they gave me peace of mind during a stressful life event. Thank you!"

It’s important to note that this role is not traditional HR, which is often associated with compliance. Nor is it intended to take over the responsi- bility of managing Team Members.
