MORETON HIRE CELEBRATES 40 YEARS AS MEMBERS OF EXPERIENCE GOLD COAST

This year Moreton Hire proudly celebrates 40 years as members and partners of Experience Gold Coast (formerly Destination Gold Coast). The Moreton Hire journey began in Manly, Brisbane in 1969 when the Morahan family acquired chairs for a school fete. This simple purchase soon transformed their family garage into ‘Moreton Bay Hire’, offering rental party and building equipment in response to growing demand in the area.

It was not long after that Moreton Bay Hire expanded in Queensland opening a distribution centre and office in Southport, Gold Coast in 1983. It was only fitting that the now known ‘Moreton Hire’ joined the membership-based destination marketing organisation, Destination Gold Coast (DGC) in 1984.

In 2024, Moreton Hire celebrates 55 years in business, they also celebrate a long-standing membership and partnership with Experience Gold Coast. CEO of Moreton Hire, Peter Morahan, says joining Experience Gold Coast was, and remains, an important part of our business’ history and legacy.

“The Gold Coast is not only where I reside and raised my family, therefore always remains close to my heart, it is also a booming business events hub, where Moreton Hire has delivered some of our most memorable and iconic major events, exhibitions and temporary structures” he said.

Notably Moreton Hire were appointed the temporary structure provider for the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games, that saw tents and event spaces built by Moreton Hire pop up across the entire Gold Coast area. Moreton Hire also delivered another essential temporary structure that became the largest COVID vaccination hub in South-East Queensland, on the South lawn at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre (GCCEC) during the pandemic.

“From Gold Coast Supercar V8’s, Gold Coast Indy 300, Vissla and Roxy Surf Pro competitions, countless major openings including formerly known Jupiter’s Casino, the 2023 Pacific Airshow, a wide range of trade expos at GCCEC, multiple Gold Coast Marathons… the list is really endless!”

Experience Gold Coast Director of Business Events, Brooke Campbell said having the support of Moreton Hire for over 40 years, which includes 10 years of partnering on our business events signature familiarisation This is Gold Coast (TIGC24), reflects true partnership.

“We are excited to continue working with Moreton Hire to create experiences for the imagination capital and continue to grow the business events sector together,” Mrs Cambell said.
