Page accuracy and grammar improvements
[edit]Hi, I noticed the Wikipedia page could be a bit more accurate and tidier.
This paragraph does not work: “In the early the first of 15 wine storage locations opened. In a 50:60 joint venture with Valad Property Group, in 2004 24 self storage properties were purchased from Millers Self Storage. In 2007 eight facilities were purchased in New Zealand. In November 2010, Kennards bought out Valad Property Group shareholding in the joint venture. By 2023 101 facilities were operated.”
If would better explain the business if it was worded like this ->
“In the early 2000’s the first of 20 wine storage locations opened.
In 2004, 24 self storage properties were added in the $220M acquisition of Millers Self Storage. This was completed in a 50:50 joint venture with Valad Property Group.
In 2007 eight facilities were purchased in New Zealand. In June 2008, Kennards agreed to buy-out the Valad Property Group shareholding in the joint venture.
By 2025, 112 facilities were operating across Australia and New Zealand. “
You might also want to add: ”Sam Kennard was appointed CEO in 1994, taking over from Neville”.

A further 14 storage centres opened in the 1990s including the first in Victoria. Sam Kennard was appointed CEO in 1994, then aged 24 years, taking over from his father, Neville; and Sam's brothers, Walter (junior) and James, are also shareholders in the company.
