Your Plant, Equipment and HGV hire. Our intelligence.
Founded in 2000, Nexus started by consolidating corporate vehicle hire and has grown into a business that manages cars, LCVs, Plant, Equipment and HGV for some of the UK's largest organisations.
Today our supply network spans 300+ accredited partners, including 125+ specialist Plant, Equipment and HGV suppliers nationwide.
Intelligence beats fragmentation.
Pillar 01
We don't sell software. We sell outcomes. 25 years consolidating fragmented hire markets — cars and LCVs first, now the same operating model applied to Plant, Equipment & HGV. One platform. One team. One invoice.
Pillar 02
Iris® is the platform we use to manage your suppliers for you. You get the visibility and control; we handle the coordination.
Pillar 03
The Live Hire Desk. Industry experts who know the kit and the depots, not script-readers. People who pick up the phone, with direct lines into every supplier in the network.
We didn't build this overnight. Nexus has spent over 25 years consolidating fragmented hire markets, starting with cars and LCVs, learning what worked, and bringing the same proven model to Plant, Equipment & HGV.
We started in 2000 with a simple idea. Take the complexity out of hire. One platform, one invoice, one team — coordinating every booking across a national supplier network so businesses can focus on what they actually do.
Twenty-six years later, that model runs across three categories, £250+ million of managed hire and a network of 300+ accredited suppliers.
Corporate car hire, short and long-term rentals and electric vehicles across all major UK national rental brands. The category that started it all — still setting the standard.
Vans, tippers, dropsides and specialist LCVs across logistics, utilities, construction and field services. Operational fleet support at national scale, with the same platform intelligence behind every hire.
The most complex category we have taken on. Excavators, telehandlers, access platforms, welfare units, crane lorries, rigids, tractor units and specialist body builds – every category a construction or infrastructure operation needs, coordinated through one platform, one supplier network and one expert team. Powered by Iris®.
Built on a simple model — one customer relationship, multiple suppliers, one platform.
The managed hire model is proving itself at scale — on-rents reach 500 across the network.
The first version of the managed hire platform consolidates booking, compliance and invoicing for customers managing hire across multiple suppliers.
On-rents reach 5,000. The model that started with a handful of rental partners is now operating at meaningful national scale.
On-rents reach 7,000. Total bookings cross one million cumulative.
The HGV managed hire proposition goes live, backed by a UK-based Hire Desk of industry experts. Within months, our first major HGV customer of scale is onboarded. Proof the model translates beyond cars and vans.
Reflecting two decades of consistent growth through the managed hire model.
Plant hire is added to the managed proposition – telehandlers, access platforms and groundworks equipment, coordinated through Iris® and backed by a growing network of accredited Plant supply partners.
Revenue reaches £252 million. On-rents reach 28,293 across the network.
We celebrate our 25th anniversary.
