Acorn Rentals open Melbourne office/depot

The first half of 2011 has been a big one for Acorn Rentals, with our Melbourne depot & office opening successfully.

After many marketing trips and site scouting visits we settled on a location in Collingwood earlier this year. The depot has since been fully staffed and a fleet of Acorn vehicles have been getting our customers back on the Melbourne streets after a non-fault accident.

So if you've been involved in a non fault accident in Melbourne get in touch with us and we'll be able to get you back on the road while your vehicle is repaired... and in keeping with the whole Melbourne/Collingwood theme guess we'd better say go the Pies!

Acorn Rentals = Defensive Driving

Acorn Rentals recently sent three staff members out to the Drive to Survive driver training program at Eastern Creek Raceway in Sydney.

This program teaches defensive driving under the umbrella of Post Licence Driver Training and Development. The team members learnt braking and collision avoidance techniques.

With many Acorn staff spending thousands of hours and kilometres on the road per year, this was a valuable session and in the name of safety something Acorn is considering rolling out for all delivery staff in future.

Acorn Rentals ditches the paper

The team at Acorn Rentals have been hard at work behind the scenes as part of our push to reduce our environmental impact by cutting down the consumption of paper, printer toner etc. We've invested significant time and effort in upgrading our technology systems and operational processes, with the focus on removing the need for paper based files. After months of hard work we're now running a paperless office, meaning our consumption of consumables and impact on the environment is substantially less.
