Hirebase set for expansion in 2025 with 5 new locations and more to follow. Acquired by the Huws Gray Group in 2021, Hirebase is a leading supplier of Plant & Tool Hire with 89 locations nationwide. In the first quarter of 2025, Hirebase is set to invest in the future by introducing 5 new locations in Q1 of 2025 - creating up to 20 new jobs. Beginning with Sudbury, followed by Headingley, the ambitious expansion plan aims to benefit customers with improved service, new machinery, an expanded range of products, and delivery options. Adrian Watts, managing director of Hirebase, says; “A fantastic opportunity exists within the original Huws Gray branch network to expand our hire operation to areas of the UK where we currently have gaps, in doing so creating a superb “one-stop shop” facility for local, regional and national customers”.
