PRESS RELEASE – Trime UK are finalists in two categories in the Hire Association Europe - 2026 Hire Awards of Excellence

The Trime UK teams are celebrating being selected as finalists in no less than two categories in the forthcoming Hire Association Europe (HAE) 2026 Hire Awards of Excellence.

Trime UK has been selected as a finalist for the Hire Supplier of the Year. In addition, their long-standing employee, Norman Pipe, has also been added to the finalists in the newly created Operations Manager of the Year category.

The Hire Awards of Excellence mark all the amazing achievements of hire and supply companies across the UK's plant, tool, equipment and event hire industry. 

Trime UK has been supplying the UK and Ireland hire markets for the past ten years. The hire markets make up around 85% of their turnover, and as a consequence, the hire industry has played, and will continue to play, a significant role in the growth of Trime UK Limited.

Norman Pipe joined Trime UK Limited in 2016. A ‘hands-on’ operator, Norman liaises with customers and suppliers, as well as managing Trime’s supply chain. He acts as a mentor to newly recruited staff, helping to reinforce Trime UK’s unique company culture.

Commenting on these honours, Paul Hay, Managing Director of Trime UK, said, “We are naturally delighted for Norman. Being a finalist is a tribute to Norman’s hard work and dedication in supporting our hire clients. We are also very pleased to be nominated for Supplier of the Year. The hire industry is a very important segment in our operations. We are looking forward to meeting up with many of our clients in April.”

The Hire Awards of Excellence 2026 will be held on Saturday, 18th April 2026, at Grosvenor House, and hosted by comedian and well-known after-dinner speaker, Adger Brown.
