At the Warehouse (in our original site at 295 Invermay Road), you’ll meet Nathan Sherman our Warehouse Manager, supported by a team who clean and maintain our quality equipment.
All the team are supported by Weeding Hire manager Paul Depster and the support of Matson Hospitality Group.
Part of
Matson Hospitality Group
MHG have a love for all things Tasmanian and desire to invest in providing a refreshed chapter for these businesses that have served past owners and their customers so well across many decades.
Our History
Started in 1987 in Tasmania, by Alan and Helene Weeding supplying party goods and pole marquees for events back when ‘party’ covered just about all occasions. As clearspan marquees become available with companies like Hoecker, the team built strong relationships in business and community event circles with a dedication to asking the right questions to help ensure a smooth event on the day.
In 2018, Weeding Hire acquired Tassie Instant Marquees and in 2022, after 35 years in business,
Weeding Hire was sold to Matson Hospitality Group, a collaboration of local brands including Matson Catering, The Gorge Restaurant, The Basin Café, Joanna’s Jams and the Tramsheds Function Centre.
