Common questions about
Nexus and Iris®.
Nexus isn't a hire company — we don't own the assets. We're the intelligence layer between you and the UK's hire market. Through Iris®, we manage Plant, Equipment & HGV hire across every supplier you'd otherwise deal with directly. You get one platform, one team, one invoice. We coordinate the network behind the scenes.
We work with our accredited network of 125+ suppliers across 650+ branches, and we can onboard supply partners you already have relationships with. The platform doesn't restrict your choice; it simply consolidates how you manage that choice.
Most businesses spend over two hours and £50–75 of administrative overhead on every hire: sourcing, compliance chasing, invoice reconciliation, off-hire admin. Across hundreds of hires a year, that's a measurable operational cost. Nexus eliminates most of it. The exact saving depends on your hire volume and current process. Try our calculator to see the potential savings for your operation. To view our calculator, click here.
Iris® provides end-to-end compliance management across your entire hired fleet. For Plant and Equipment this covers LOLER certifications, PDI documentation, and PMI tracking. For HGVs this extends to MOTs, laden brake testing, tachograph calibrations, and DVS requirements. All compliance records are pre-validated by our team before being digitised and made available on demand through Iris®. Proactive expiry alerts at 7 and 3 days ensure nothing is missed. Every record is audit-ready, downloadable, and held against the hire record.
Five categories: Site & Ground Works (heavy plant machinery & groundbreaking equipment), Material Handling (forklifts, telehandlers), Access Equipment (MEWPs, scaffolding, powered access), Site Setup & Welfare (cabins, infrastructure, power), and HGV & Specialist Fleets (rigids, articulated, specialist HGV, light commercials). All managed through one platform.
