About Us
THE HISTORY OF MORETON HIRE
Moreton Hire is a family owned business with a long history and an exciting future.
FOUNDED IN 1969
Moreton Hire was founded in 1969 by Marlene and Kevin Morahan in Manly, Brisbane. The Morahan’s bought chairs for the school fete, but before they knew it, the locals were putting in their borrowing requests. “Moreton Bay Hire” was officially born in their family garage, offering party and building equipment for hire.
A FAMILY BUSINESS
In 1978, tragedy struck when Kevin passed away, leaving Marlene with six children and the family business. Together with her children, she led their backyard party hire operation, determined to grow it into a trusted name in equipment hire company across Queensland. Over time, the family dropped the “Bay” from the name and expanded Moreton Hire nationally.
CONTINUOUS INNOVATION
Since these humble beginnings, the company has continued to reinvent itself. With its products, services, technology and sectors continuously developed to offer a modern service for our customers. Today, Marlene’s children and grandchildren continue to drive Moreton Hire to be Australia’s largest business event provider.
A TRUSTED DELIVERY PARTNER
Today, Moreton Hire partners with organisations across Australia and around the world to deliver major projects. At the heart of our business remains the same focus it was founded on — our customers.
EXPERIENCE IS EVERYTHING
Moreton Hire founder, Marlene Morahan, has believed in customer experience from the first day of business back in 1969. It has been the foundations of our business and culture ever since. Our teams continuously strive to deliver a great experience – the customer experience we offer our clients, and the experience we are building on a daily basis.
