Nixon Hire Announces Divestment of Welfarevan Fleet
We are pleased to share another important milestone in our strategic evolution. As of 8th July 2025, Nixon Hire has completed the sale of its welfarevan fleet to Sunbelt Rentals UK.
With these assets no longer aligning with our long-term plans and new strategic direction as experts in sustainable sites, we have opted to streamline our offering and redeploy capital into areas that deliver the greatest value for our customers and support our strategic objectives.
These include Modular Buildings, Renewable Power, Site Accommodation, Site Welfare and other high-growth segments that enable customers to reduce emissions and improve business outcomes through connected, end-to-end site solutions – with each project handled by our team of dedicated experts from initial planning through to completion and collection.
We have and continue to make strong progress in delivering our full-service sustainable site strategy. Recently we have:
• Expanded and enhanced our Modular Buildings and Renewable Power fleets, adding new workshop capabilities and improving stock availability to reduce lead times
• Implemented technological advancements to deliver a better experience at every customer touchpoint
• Launched a dedicated Customer Data Centre to leverage real-time insights and offer tailored recommendations which align with our customers’ goals
This deal enables us to go further, faster and drive forward our ambitious plans for the future of Nixon Hire.
CEO Graham Nixon comments:
“This is a carefully considered strategic deal and a positive outcome for all parties. The sale enables us to lean further and faster into our transition from generalist provider to specialist partner – directing additional capital into Modular Buildings, Renewable Power, Site Accommodation, Site Welfare and the other high-growth areas that define the ‘new’ Nixon Hire.
Our strategy has always been about listening to our customers and staying ahead of where the industry is going, being proactive and making decisive moves. Following a period of meaningful change to our operating model in line with that approach, we’re now seeing the benefits start to filter through, with healthy and sustainable commercial and operational momentum building across the business.
“Looking forward, with a strong pipeline across our target markets and a wave of new products, services and innovations set to roll out, we have real confidence in the strength and direction of the business.”
