Nexus Celebrates 25th Anniversary

This year marks a significant milestone in the Nexus journey as we proudly celebrate our 25th anniversary. To commemorate this achievement, we launched the ‘Nexus 25’ campaign. This two-week celebration honoured the people, partners, and innovations that have shaped our success over the last quarter-century.

A Journey of Continuous Growth

From our origins as a traditional rental provider to becoming the UK’s leading B2B vehicle and plant hire solution, Nexus has always focused on pushing boundaries. Today, we operate with a vast network of over 300 supply partners, offer access to more than 550,000 vehicles across 2,000 branches, and provide 24/7 rental booking and support.

This level of service and scale has made Nexus a trusted partner for businesses across the UK.

Embracing Change and Looking Forward

In the past year, we’ve undergone a transformative rebrand, unveiling a refreshed visual identity and a bold new brand ethos: ‘Never Stop.’ This mantra reflects our commitment to constant innovation, especially in technology and customer experience.

Key recent highlights include:

Winning ‘Transport Tech Company of the Year’ at the UK Business Tech Awards
Being named ‘Santander Technology Business of the Year’ at the Growing Business Awards
Receiving a BVCA Vision 2025 Award for Large Companies in Yorkshire & the Northeast
Featuring in the Top 100 of the Northern Tech Awards

Innovating for the Future

As we look to the next 25 years, our focus remains on technology-led growth. We’re integrating advanced AI and data analytics into our award-winning Iris® platform, exploring market expansion opportunities, and scaling up our electric vehicle offering in line with our sustainability goals.
