Key industrial clients Hewden already serves large industrial clients such as Carillion, Balfour Beatty and Thames Water, indicating a momentum with major contractors and regulated infrastructure projects. Leverage this by targeting similar blue-chip firms in construction, utilities, and public sector projects for on-site equipment hire, cranes, and power solutions.

Nationwide reach With a national network of depots capable of servicing most locations in mainland UK, there is an opportunity to position Hewden as the preferred one-stop supplier for multi-site construction programs, events, and infrastructure projects that demand reliable delivery and standardized equipment across sites.

Expanded hardware Recent £1m investment in hydraulic breakers and attachments expands the versatility of standard machines, enabling cross-selling of integrated solutions (attachments, power, and lifting) to increase average deal size and reduce downtime for customers executing varied tasks.

Project pedigree Involvement in high-profile projects such as Crossrail, Glasgow Commonwealth Games, and London Marathon strengthens credibility in complex, time-critical environments. Use this to target clients undertaking large-scale, time-sensitive builds and events that require reliable equipment and on-site support.

Digital reach Presence on modern tech stack with WordPress, SEO and cloud optimizations suggests opportunities to improve online lead capture, optimize for fleet and service searches, and run targeted campaigns to capture inquiries from contractors and event organizers planning equipment needs.
