Warner buys Cardinal Rentals

April 29, 2014 – Warner Rentals of Kamloops, B.C., has finalized an
agreement to purchase Cardinal Rentals of Salmon Arm, B.C. Warner will
take over operations of Cardinal's location on June 2. The acquisition
will become Warner's third location, joining its existing branch in
Princeton, B.C. The store will be run under the Warner name with a new management team.

Cat Bieschke, daughter of Cardinal owner Larry Bieschke, says the sale is good news for her and her family. "Ralph has been a pleasure to work with. It was time for a change and he has made the process fantastic. This will give us more time to spend together as a family."

Ralph Warner, owner of Warner Rentals, says the sale was not initially his idea. "Cat kind of hand picked our company to buy them out," Warner explains. "I am very flattered that she chose us. I'm looking forward to doing a great job for the people of Salmon Arm."

Warner serves construction and industrial markets in Kamloops, Merritt, Kelowna and the central interior. Cardinal has had more focus on construction and homeowner rentals with an 8,000 square-foot store, warehouse and one-acre yard. Julia Dick will take over as branch manager of the Cardinal location, assisted by sales manager Nathan Mutcher. Warner says the location will have six employees to start.
