Darryl Callaghan is one of the Directors at PC Rentals, and also the Operations Manager. As Darryl explains, “My role consists of many different duties from answering the phone, emails  and sending out quotes. Answering emails from the website, organising the staff, organising weekend work, supplying (or finding) equipment for jobs, entering the rental agreements and returns in the system, doing the invoicing and month end rollovers each month to organising the rental jobs, delivering, installing and collecting equipment, trouble shooting, help desk role, liaising / visiting our clients and buying IT equipment off suppliers”.

Darryl says he has always had an interest in Computers, from an early age, with his Atari 2600 Console, then Commodore 64, then a 486 sx33 PC.  He completed a CBC (Certificate in Business Computing) in the late 80’s straight out of school, worked as a computer operator at Counties Power, moved to PC Power as a sales Consultant, Star Micronics as a Sales Coordinator and a quick stint back at PC Power but joining PC Rentals in Jan 1997.

He continues, “I enjoy my role as everyday is different, some days are great and some not so. One day I can be stuck behind a desk and the next driving to Hamilton, Rotorua or even Napier for jobs.

“When I’m not at work, things are rather busy, my wife have a 6 year old son (Henry) and 12 year old son (Ethan) and when we aren’t playing on the trampoline, riding scooters / bikes, playing soccer, cricket, softball you will find me outside washing the cars, the windows, waterblasting the concrete, mowing the lawns and doing gardening (I love weed killing). When my jobs are done, I enjoy riding my bike, hanging out with friends, and being a computer geek. Our house is wireless for everything, when the kids are in bed, you’re find me on my treadmill, watching TV, movies or playing games on my PC or Xbox.”
