Honoring Service and Dedication: Celebrating Jim McNeese, Army Veteran and HOLT Industrial Rentals Sales Representative

SAN ANTONIO, TX — Nov. 5, 2024 — This Veterans Day, we’re honored to spotlight Jim McNeese, an Outside Sales Representative with HOLT Industrial Rentals. A dedicated family man, outdoors enthusiast, and Army veteran, Jim brings an exceptional commitment to his work, his family, and the values he stands for. Here’s a look at his inspiring journey, both in and out of the military, and what motivates him today.

Jim’s journey to the Army was sparked by a practical goal: accessing the GI Bill benefits and a bonus offered during Operation Desert Storm. However, he quickly realized the profound honor and purpose the military brought to his life. A pivotal moment for Jim was his selection for the Command Post Color Guard at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, where he learned the power of setting and exceeding goals through dedication and integrity. This lesson has stayed with him, shaping his approach to both life and work.

After leaving the Army, Jim met his wife, Heather, also an Army Reservist. Their shared background in military service helped to forge a connection that has only strengthened over the years. Together, they have built a close-knit family with three sons: Brady, Riley, and Avery. Now grown, Brady is married and has a young son, Benjamin, while Riley and Avery are busy pursuing their education, with Riley as a college freshman and Avery as a high school junior. When he’s not at work, Jim loves to spend time outdoors, enjoying camping, kayak fishing, hiking, and golfing.

At HOLT Industrial Rentals, Jim values being part of a team that embodies strong values and a mission that truly resonates. “This is the first organization I’ve been at where the mission statement feels like a living, breathing thing embraced by everyone,” he shares. “Being part of something new and young, where I get to contribute to a shared culture and drive for excellence, makes my role here incredibly rewarding.”

This Veterans Day, we’re grateful for Jim’s service, his dedication, and his example of integrity and perseverance. Thank you, Jim, for all you do at HOLT and beyond!

HOLT Industrial Rentals Launch

HOLT Industrial Rentals Launches to Support Texas Businesses Ranging from Sports Arenas to Hospitals to Construction Sites

The newest business from industrial- and construction-equipment experts HOLT, will provide solutions-based rentals for increasing power, climate and industrial air needs.

SAN ANTONIO, TX — Nov. 7, 2022 — Seeking to address the growing needs of the $52 billion U.S. equipment rental market, HOLT Industrial Rentals, a HOLT company, launched today to provide specialty industrial equipment solutions throughout Texas.

The increased needs associated with expanding facilities, construction, and climate-based challenges have caused industries — including oil and gas, events, and manufacturing — to turn to full-service rental solutions, as opposed to purchasing and maintaining the equipment themselves. This is on top of the need for temporary equipment to support outages, maintenance, equipment reconditioning and business expansion.

HOLT Industrial Rentals offers turnkey solutions centered around industrial power (power generators, distribution, load banks, etc.), climate (chillers, air conditioners, heaters, etc.), and air (compressors, desiccant dryers, etc.) — often combining multiple elements for one holistic answer to customers’ challenges.

“Our customers are consistently asking for complete solution packages, not just individual pieces of equipment,” said Don Myrick, general manager of HOLT Industrial Rentals. “It eases the burden of running their businesses by offloading the expertise needed to plan out these large, temporary industrial solutions.”

According to a recent study by Koncept Analytics, the U.S. equipment rental market is expected to grow to $64 billion in 2025 at a CAGR of 5.47% from 2021-2025. The study cites that a “rise in party and event planning, growth in oil and gas production, rising employment and rapid urbanization would drive the growth of the market.”

“We’ve seen increased rental requests across our businesses and have always been an organization that pivots to meet the needs of our customers,” said Peter J. Holt, CEO of HOLT. “We understand the importance of rentals across the industrial, construction and facilities equipment industries and the role our services can play in the success of these businesses.”

In addition to the larger scale of operations and increased speed of business, companies are also feeling the strain of increased inclement weather such as freezes, heat waves and natural disasters that can bring business to a halt.

“Temporary industrial solutions are critical to keep productivity going at the pace necessary in today’s business landscape, and we are excited to launch this new company,” said Holt.
