Josh Nickell Joins Point of Rental

Josh Nickell is Point of Rental's new Director of Global Strategy.

Point of Rental Software’s worldwide team has added Josh Nickell as its Director of Global Strategy. The former CEO of Nickell Rental will join the company in May, continuing a 20-year career in the rental industry after selling his company to Sunbelt Rentals.

“Joining the team at Point of Rental allows me to combine three of my lifelong passions – technology, rental, and building highly-engaged, scalable teams,” said Nickell. “There is so much opportunity in data analytics and innovative technologies and no company is better positioned to leverage that than Point of Rental. Being a part of the Point of Rental team just makes sense; having the opportunity to build teams that partner rental businesses with innovative technology – that’s a dream come true.”

As Director of Global Strategy, Josh will focus on building greater synergy among Point of Rental’s teams based in Dallas, U.S.; Reading, U.K.; and Melbourne, Australia. This will increase company-wide data sharing, open new markets for the software, and solidify the company’s core values across an international spectrum.

“Point of Rental’s reputation is built upon our firsthand rental experience and knowledge of the industry,” Wayne Harris, CEO of Point of Rental Software said. “That’s what sets us apart from other rental software providers. We are always working to build on that reputation by adding people with working rental experience; and we jumped at the chance to add Josh Nickell to our team. He is a walking encyclopedia of rental knowledge. Under his leadership, Nickell Rental was one of the most forward-thinking rental companies in the industry. Adding his insight and expertise allows us to make our software that much more attuned to our customers’ needs.”

Noting Nickell’s personal attributes and how that will contribute to his new role, Harris added, “Josh is gifted in building high-functioning teams, and we are excited to leverage that on a global scale. He embodies what we strive to be as a company—an organization that cares about those we serve, working tirelessly and with integrity to take them to the next level.”

Under Josh’s leadership, Nickell Rental was listed on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies in the United States for the past three years. In 2017, the company ranked No. 216 among construction-related companies in the United States and is positioned to be featured for the fourth time in a row in 2018.

Josh is also highly invested in the rental industry as a whole. He has served eight years on the ARA of Georgia board in multiple positions and now is serving as President. In addition, he has served as the Chairperson of The Rental Show Task Force, the Legislative Caucus, and various rental industry committees. Josh has been recognized as the ARA Regional Person of the Year in 2014, and most recently with the ARA’s 2018 Meritorious Service Award for demonstrating exemplary leadership.
