As readers with long memories will know, Kendrick Hire was one of the leading tool hire companies throughout the 1980s and early 1990s. In September 1994, its 41 depots were acquired by Speedy, which greatly accelerated the latter’s expansion. Twenty-five years on, founder David
Kendrick (who also turns 70 this year) is inviting all ex-Kendrick Hire employees to a grand reunion set for lunchtime on Sunday, 14 July at Churchill College, Cambridge. All former personnel are welcome, irrespective of their position or length of tenure within the company. To find out more and to register, visit
