Point of Rental

Let's meet Pete Wright, one of Point of Rental's Account Executives!

UK Software Support Manager Rob Warwick sits down on the PORch to talk about how he got into software support, lessons that translate from the soccer pitch to the workplace, and a host of other things. *NOTE: This episode is marked explicit for references to a TV show title that sounds like a swear word and because we're not sure if the game "Rob or Knob" should be censored, but it would've required a LOT of beeps to edit. Listener discretion advised.

Joan McKinlay joins The Front Porch fresh off her trip to Slovakia as part of Plant & Hire Aid Alliance's convoy to bring supplies to Ukrainian refugees there. While we spent a lot of our chat talking about her experience there, we also learned how she started her career, her time at Point of Rental, her love of musical theatre (including her Top 5 musicals of all time), and we even had our first guest who immediately had an answer for "most embarrassing moment of her career".

Let's meet Allison Holt, one of our new Customer Support Specialists!

Let's meet Cheryl Frakes, one of our new Customer Support Specialists!

This month's Front Porch guest is Joan McKinlay from our UK office, who participated in the Plant & Hire Aid Alliance's recent convoy to Slovakia to provide equipment and supplies to Ukrainian refugees. Since the full episode won't be shared until after the next Plant & Hire Aid Alliance event, we wanted to share this segment from the interview (slightly modified) to encourage people interested in helping her at the Wrapathon scheduled for 26-27 November to stop by and help. The people involved will play a big role in brightening the lives of people who could really use it after an incredibly difficult 2022. If you can't make the Wrapathon but you'd like to help in other ways, you can get connected by signing up at the Alliance's website: https://www.aid-alliance.com/
