Radio Rentals was formed in 1930 in Brighton, Sussex, UK with a turnover in the first year of £780. It later moved into televisions and ultimately video recorders. Growth of a public TV service after the war encouraged more people to want TV sets but they were expensive, leaving an opportunity for Radio Rentals to offer them out as an affordable monthly rental.Video recorders and a range of white goods came next as the business took off.
The Radio Rentals story in Australia began with a single shopfront in Market Street, Sydney in 1937. Today, it is Australia’s leading household appliance, technology and furniture rental company with over 70 stores in Australia and nearly 30 stores in New Zealand and more than 500 employees.The parent company is Thorn Group Limited.
