The supply network
behind every hire.
A network that scales like a national supplier and behaves like a local one.
Every supply partner is accredited, performance-managed, and held to the same standards across every hire. Consolidation through Nexus does not mean less choice. It means access to more equipment than any single supplier could offer, all managed through Iris®, with one expert team handling the detail on your behalf.
A network that scales like a national supplier and behaves like a local one.
With long-standing industry-built relationships we have over 25 years of experience with a national supply to suit every hire requirement. All suppliers are health, safety and environmentally accredited. Quality is assured through robust service level agreements and measurable key performance indicators. Annual audits apply to our entire supplier network — owning supplier compliance end to end so customers don't have to.
National operators, regional specialists, local independents — all signed to the same audit standards.
From Highland depots to South Coast yards — sourcing depth on every postcode.
The estate visible to Iris® — vehicles, plant and equipment with compliance status held against every record.
UK-based Plant, Equipment & HGV specialists available via live chat, phone and email.
Every supplier.
One standard.
Every supply partner signs up to a defined set of SLA commitments as part of the Nexus on-boarding process. SLAs are not set and forgotten. They are the framework against which performance is continuously monitored and measured.
Confirmation Times
Hire confirmations within agreed timescales. No ambiguity about availability after a booking is placed.
Delivery & Collection
On-time delivery and collection against agreed windows. Missed slots are tracked and actioned.
Compliance Paperwork
LOLER, Tachograph, LBT, PMI, and LBT certificates provided to agreed timescales. Documentation gaps are managed.
Damage
Damage reported within defined windows post off-hire. Disputes managed through Iris® with full evidence trail. Costs invoiced promptly and validated against approved purchase orders.
Breakdown Response
Response time commitments for on-hire breakdowns. VOR attendance and replacement delivery tracked against target.
Invoice Accuracy
Billing must match the hire record. Discrepancies challenged and resolved before consolidated invoice reaches the customer.
Continuous performance.
Not just accreditation.
Supplier performance is tracked through the Iris® Scorecard Performance Module, monitoring every touchpoint across the hire lifecycle. Nexus collaborates with suppliers on the customer's behalf to resolve issues, identify improvements, and drive consistent service standards. Suppliers who consistently excel receive more business.
We own supplier compliance
end to end.
Annual on-site. No exceptions.
Annual on-site audits and asset inspections are applied to our entire supplier network. Customers do not need to audit their own supply chain — we do it on their behalf.
- Annual on-site audits across the full supplier network, assessing quality, operational standards, and management processes.
- Asset inspections covering condition, maintenance records, and equipment-specific certification requirements.
- Health, safety & environmental accreditation verified at onboarding and maintained through audit. Non-compliant suppliers are not activated.
- Customers gain confidence in every asset sourced through the network, without needing to manage the compliance process themselves.
Values reflected in every relationship.
Our dedicated Supply Chain team works with suppliers to improve their policies and processes. We actively favour suppliers who share our values.
- Apprenticeship schemes and local employment. We actively favour suppliers investing in community contribution and workforce development.
- Stage V engines, hybrid technology, and electric equipment. Suppliers are encouraged to invest in lower-emission assets as part of their ongoing relationship with Nexus.
- Policy and process improvement. Our Supply Chain team works collaboratively with suppliers — not just auditing, but helping raise standards across the network.
- Transparent performance reporting. Suppliers are shown their own scorecard data. Improvement targets are set collaboratively, not imposed unilaterally.
Awarded the EcoVadis Bronze Medal.
Nexus is placed in the top 35% of companies assessed globally for responsible business practice. That commitment runs through every supplier relationship we manage — not as a marketing statement, but as an operating standard.
Lower-emission equipment,
tracked through Iris®.
Our network includes suppliers investing in low-carbon and zero-emission equipment across every category. The Greener Range is available across all hire types, with emissions data accessible through Iris® to inform and benchmark against your own green targets.
Electric Plant & Equipment
Ideal for urban sites and Clean Air Zones where emissions restrictions apply. Fully electric options across plant and access, with zero on-site exhaust emissions and reduced noise output.
Solar Welfare & Site Setup
Reduce generator dependency and on-site fuel consumption across your site setup operations. Solar-powered welfare and utility equipment available throughout the supply network.
HVO & Hybrid HGV
HVO-compatible trucks and hybrid options across the fleet. HVO fuel significantly reduces lifecycle carbon emissions compared to conventional diesel, with no vehicle modifications required.
Zero-emission MEWPs
Hybrid and zero-emission mobile elevated work platforms available across the full range. Suitable for indoor use and environmentally sensitive sites where conventional diesel access equipment is restricted.
Emissions data across your entire hire operation is accessible through Iris® — by asset type, fuel category, supplier, hire duration, and site. Our Account Management team works alongside customers to interpret that data, identify opportunities, and translate insight into action against your own green targets.
National reach.
Local availability.
Specialist depth.
We work with a diverse network of major national partners, specialist providers, local independents, and regional suppliers across the UK. Whatever you need, wherever you need it, we source it and manage it end to end on your behalf.
Access to more equipment than any single supplier could offer.
When you consolidate through Nexus, you are not trading breadth for simplicity. You are gaining access to a panel of 125+ accredited suppliers, coordinated through one platform and one team — with the same service standard applied to every hire, regardless of which supplier fulfils it.
Already have a preferred
supplier? Not a problem.
Our Supply Chain team can onboard a supplier that is not already on our panel — so you still benefit from one platform, one team, and one consolidated monthly invoice, without losing the supplier relationships you value.
One Platform. One Team.
Every Supplier.
You retain the supplier relationships you value. We bring them into the same framework as the rest of the network — so every booking, every compliance document, and every invoice is managed in one place, through Iris®.

Whether you are managing 50 hires a year or 5,000, the complexity is the same. We turn it into a single platform, a single invoice, and a single point of contact. Book a demonstration of Iris® and discover what complete visibility and zero overhead looks like for your operation.
