Constant Fleet Investment

Our constant fleet investment programme ensures that we operate one of the youngest hire fleets in the United Kingdom today. Being distributors for only leading brands of equipment ensures that we not only obtain plant at the most competitive terms, but also benefits our service in the respect that we stock new machines which can be added to the hire fleet at a moments notice. We also hold spare parts up to the value of £0.5 Million so that machine downtimes are kept to an absolute minimum in the event that parts are required.  

Hiring quality equipment is one thing, service and support another, however it’s our people that really make the difference that really matters. At Nixon Hire we firmly believe in exceeding our customers expectations in terms of outstanding customer service. We can only achieve these goals by employing only people with the right attitude, knowledge, experience and commitment.

We aim to develop long-term business relationships with each of our customers and offer a completely flexible approach that is so refreshing in this day and age of faceless business. All our Board Directors can be contacted directly by our customers in the event of any query.
