Hirepool Tauranga is the local branch of Hirepool, a national equipment hire network with branches throughout New Zealand and, by the company's own account, more than 60 years in the industry. The branch sits at 4 Pyes Pa Road in Greerton and serves Tauranga along with Poike, Parkvale, Greerton, Tauriko and Bethlehem. A second Hirepool branch at Mount Maunganui is around 10km away, which gives organisers working across the Tauranga–Mount corridor two collection points.
### What they supply
The branch handles general equipment hire on both short and long-term terms. The everyday range runs to access equipment such as cherry pickers, concrete saws, water blasters, hedge trimmers, compaction and site gear — the sort of plant used to build, level and service a temporary event site as much as a construction one.
Beyond the general hire counter, the Hirepool group operates several specialist divisions that matter for events: Continental Event Hire, a specialist subsidiary covering marquees and party hire with a nationwide footprint; Hirepool Vehicle Rentals; portable toilet hire; excavation shoring; and a film and TV arm. Continental's catalogue covers marquee structures, flooring, lighting and sound, furniture, linen, glassware, cutlery and crockery, catering equipment, refrigeration and heating, portaloos and luxury toilet units, with dedicated streams for corporate functions and for regional and national events.
### How a MICE organiser would use them
For conference and incentive work in the Bay of Plenty, Hirepool is most useful as a single account for the infrastructure layer of an off-site or outdoor programme: marquee cover, flooring, heating, tables and chairs, power and generators, lighting, and site services such as fencing-adjacent plant and portable amenities. That covers gala dinners in temporary structures, outdoor breakout and catering areas, sponsor and exhibition activations, and welcome functions held at venues without built-in capacity.
Because the group spans general hire, event hire, portables and vehicles, an organiser can consolidate several supplier lines rather than coordinating separate vendors — useful on multi-day programmes where set-up, running and pack-down all need equipment on site.
### Practical notes
Rates and availability are set by branch, so bookings should be placed against the Tauranga branch. The branch is open seven days, with reduced weekend hours. Larger marquee and event packages are handled through the Continental Event Hire division rather than over the branch counter.
