Cover Story – Rental Management Magazine: Meeting the Needs of Contractors
|
|
Durante Rentals CEO Anthony Durante offers his professional insight for Rental Management’s cover story: Meeting the Needs of Contractors
Anthony Durante, CEO, Durante Rentals, which has four locations
in the New York area including the Bronx, Elmsford, Flushing, and Mt. Vernon, also says existing customers are renting more equipment due to harder to obtain financing, more complex equipment requiring greater mechanical expertise and attention, and because the ratio of the rental rate to overall purchase cost is becoming increasingly more favorable.
“There are more customers who are renting every year as renting equipment is becoming easier to operate
and more cost-effective – the inverse to the rapid increase in the cost of hiring a contractor,” Durante says.

Our CFO Leads Westchester Community College’s Gateway to Entrepreneurship Program
|
|
Our CFO, Chris Jones, as a part of his on-going volunteer efforts with Westchester Community College’s Gateway to Entrepreneurship Center (G2E), recently spent time working with seven immigrants looking to start-up local businesses. “As a second-generation American, I heard the stories of how difficult it was to make a living when my grandparents first arrived in New York. As a young entrepreneur, there was no one to help me avoid the mistakes I made early on. I love seeing the enthusiasm they have for the opportunities here in America that perhaps were not a possibility in their native countries”.
Romina Ganopolsky, an Argentinian native who ran the program for G2E said, “The entrepreneurs really appreciated Chris’ experience, feedback, and his genuineness. We hope we can get him again for our next event.”

Rest in peace, Dr. Greco.
