Large-scale hirer Hewden is a leading national equipment rental provider in Construction, Industrial, Events and Infrastructure with a wide depot network, presenting frequent cross-sell opportunities for on-site plant, access, cranes, power solutions, and training services.

Key clients & projects Existing relationships with major players like Carillion, Balfour Beatty and Thames Water, plus involvement in high-visibility projects (Crossrail, Commonwealth Games, London Marathon) indicate opportunities for renewal of contracts and expansion into additional asset classes or longer-term rental arrangements.

Industrial focus Positioned as the number one supplier in the industrial sector, Hewden can leverage this dominance to upsell industrial tools, attachments, and specialized lifting solutions to current industrial customers and win new contracts in related sectors.

Attachable upgrades Recent £1m investment in hydraulic breakers and attachments for excavators and telehandlers, with trackers and automated lubrication, signals a trend toward bundled equipment packages that combine core units with smart attachments to boost machine productivity and reduce downtime.

Growth readiness National reach, scalable service delivery, and a cloud-enabled tech stack indicate readiness for flexible rental models, expanded online ordering, and data-driven upsell opportunities across regions and market segments.
