podcast

If you’re one of Point of Rental’s UK-based or European customers, you’ve probably interacted with Joan McKinlay, our Customer Success Manager Team Lead in Reading.

In addition to her trip with the Plant & Hire Aid Alliance to Slovakia to support Ukrainian refugees this November (which was shared earlier this month), we talked about what she’d done prior to arriving at Point of Rental, her status as “first Point of Rental hire in the UK,” her Top 5 musicals, and more.
