looking forward to attending and presenting at the Rental
Conference.
“By bringing together senior rental people from throughout
Asia, we will have an opportunity to discuss latest global
industry trends and share best practices. The timing couldn’t be
better as rental continues to grow in established markets and
begins to make progress in emerging markets. I hope to see you
in Beijing.”
Murray Pollok, editor of
IRN
, said, “China is positioned to
become one of the world’s most important equipment rental
markets.
“The International Rental Conference will provide rental
companies, equipment manufacturers and others with a fantastic
insight into how the market will develop, and how China’s
growing rental industry can learn from established rental players
in other markets.”
