The very first European Rental Week has officially begun and ERA will be celebrating the equipment rental ‎industry throughout the week, which lasts from 9 to 15 October.‎

Rental companies and associations across Europe will also be promoting the industry during the ‎week to improve the attractiveness of the industry, raise awareness of the rental concept and ‎promote rental as a sustainable, cost-effective and resource-efficient solution.

This year, in line with ‎the theme of ‘Investing in People’, the industry will be promoting the opportunities, careers, ‎development and training that the industry provides for people from all backgrounds.‎

Michel Petitjean, Secretary General of ERA, said, “We are very excited that European Rental Week has finally arrived. We have worked very hard with ‎our members over the past year to make this important promotional initiative a reality and we ‎especially thank the members of our National Association and Promotion Committees for their ‎valuable contributions.

“European Rental Week shows what we can achieve by working together and ‎is a great opportunity to showcase everything that we love about our industry.‎”
