Richard Marrah - Manager/Director
Shareholder and Manager, Richard Marrah, has over 25 years experience in the hire industry. As such, he has seen the many changes in technology, advances in equipment, and the ever-evolving needs of his customers. After a short break from the industry, Richard realised his true passion lay in hire and so began his journey towards the establishment of Invercargill Hire Limited which opened in July 2017.
A passionate southerner, Richard has called Invercargill home all his life. When not in the office, he enjoys jet skiing in Central Otago with his wife and daughter or catching up with his sons and their partners, and his grandchildren.
Nic Maley - 2IC
Nic has worked in the hire industry since he was 16. He has grown up with hire and has a sound knowledge of both equipment and the southern region. He has exceptional customer service skills, a great sense of humour and a 'can-do' attitude.
Outside of iHire, Nic enjoys spending time with his wife, young children and his extended family. A passionate rugby supporter, he's pretty excited about iHire's support of the Southland Stags and is also a big follower of cricket, particularly the Black Caps. In fact, come Summer, he and his siblings can often be found behind a cricket bat at the park.
