TODAY marks 30 years since the Shaw family opened the doors of the first Master Hire branch in Toowoomba.

From the original, small premises on Alderley St, Toowoomba, Stuart and Jenny Shaw's business has grown to include seven branches across New South Wales and Queensland.

As they were expanding, Stuart's older brother Peter and his wife Helen also joined the business.
