Nexus launches combined Plant, Equipment & HGV hire proposition.

Managing Plant, Equipment and HGV hire has always involved more than most businesses realise. Getting the right asset to the right site at the right time is one challenge. Everything surrounding that hire, the compliance tracking, the invoice reconciliation, the damage claims, the off-hire administration, is another challenge entirely. And for most organisations, it’s one that remains largely invisible, buried across procurement, operations and finance teams.

Today, Nexus officially launches its combined Plant, Equipment & HGV hire proposition: a single managed solution that brings all of it together in one place.

One platform. One team. Every supply partner.

At the heart of the proposition is Iris®, our purpose-built managed hire platform. Iris® handles the full complexity of multi-supplier Plant, Equipment and HGV hire on your behalf, from booking and compliance management through to invoice processing, damage claims, fines administration, and real-time reporting. Seven integrated modules. One platform. Everything managed.

Alongside Iris®, our UK-based Live Hire Desk provides real operational support from a team of Plant, Equipment and HGV hire specialists. Not a booking service. Not AI bots. Real people, managing the detail so your team doesn’t have to.

Together, they eliminate an average of £50 to £75 of hidden administrative overhead per hire, a cost most businesses carry without ever seeing it on a single budget line.

Gerry McCaig, Chief Operating Officer at Nexus, said:

“This proposition is built on three things: a market-leading platform in Iris®, a supply partner network that covers the entire UK, and a team of real Plant, Equipment and HGV experts managing the detail on behalf of our customers. That combination is what sets us apart.”

Complete coverage across five categories

The proposition covers everything your operation needs: Site & Ground Works, HGV & Specialist Fleets, Material Handling, Access Equipment, and Site Setup & Welfare. All sourced from our network of 125+ accredited supply partners, across 650+ branch locations nationwide, giving access to more than 700,000 vehicles and assets.

Responsible business runs through the proposition too. Iris® gives customers full visibility of emissions data across their hire estate, with pre-configured green booking preferences and equipment options spanning electric, solar-powered, hybrid and zero-emission alternatives.

Built on 25+ years of hire expertise, Nexus brings the same proven consolidation model that transformed how businesses manage fleet and LCV hire to the complex world of Plant, Equipment and HGV.
