A strong reputation for business innovation and originality
The Kennards family has a strong reputation for business innovation and originality. With foundations with Walter Kennard and his establishment of the highly regarded Kennards Hire in 1947, the family has since succeeded his enterprise to expand in many ways. Walter’s two sons, Neville and Andrew took Kennards to a level he would not imagine.
In 1973, this included establishing Australia’s first Self Storage Centre in the Kennards Hire branch at Moorebank. Neville and his son Sam, now independently own the Kennards Self Storage Company. Kennards Hire now has no commercial relationship to Kennards self Storage.
Kennards Self Storage now proudly boasts being one of the largest Self Storage Operator Australasia wide. The company has pioneered the industry in many ways. It is founded on values of quality, value, convenience and innovation. The entire KSS team strives to provide customers an exceptional storage experience.
In 2004, KSS teamed up with Valad Property Group to acquire 24 storage centres trading under the name of Millers Self Storage. This grew the business to 56 locations virtually doubling our size. In June 2008, Kennards agreed to acquire Valads interest in the joint venture which owned 38 properties.
