Vendor Spotlight: Rentals Unlimited

admin — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 18:22:53 +0000

Rentals Unlimited started as an offshoot of a catering company, Green Manor Catering. In 1999, Larry Green sold the catering company to focus his attention on a new business venture – special event rentals. Rentals Unlimited began with tables, chairs, basic linen, and place settings.

Today- Rentals Unlimited has 7 locations in New England and services the entire New England area (islands included!) The Rentals Unlimited empire is only continuing to grow – their Stoughton headquarters are currently under construction to accommodate an even larger warehouse. They still service the special event industry with table, chairs, and place-settings, but also feature furniture, catering equipment, tents, and a much more extensive selection of specialty linen.

In January, 2010 – Rentals Unlimited was awarded 1st place in the Tabletop Competition at The Special Event Show in New Orleans. The honor was given out for their work on a table $1,000 or greater.

CEO Larry Green is also the 2010-2011 president of the ISES New England Chapter. In January 2010, Larry was honored by the SEARCH Foundation with the prestigious Caring Heart Award for his “tireless Devotion and giving back to the industry”

Thank you to Rentals Unlimited for their unwavering commitment to this project!
