Nixon Hire brings modular buildings to Scotland with Dundee launch at ScotPlant 2026

Nixon Hire is pleased to announce that it will be exhibiting

at ScotPlant 2026, Scotland’s largest construction equipment exhibition, taking place on Friday

24 and Saturday 25 April at the Royal Highland Centre, Edinburgh.

Modular buildings launch in Scotland

In a significant milestone for the company's Scottish operations, Nixon Hire will use ScotPlant

to unveil its new Modular Buildings Centre of Excellence at Dundee - the first dedicated

modular hub across its five Scottish depots. Supported by the company's Renewable Power

Centre of Excellence in Glasgow, the new facility represents a major investment in Scotland

and underlines Nixon Hire's commitment to bringing its full range of sustainable site solutions

to Scottish customers.

A live sustainable site setup

Visitors to the Nixon Hire stand will find a fully operational, live sustainable site setup, running

in real conditions exactly as it would on a customer site. At its centre is an eight-bay modular

building, demonstrating the thermal performance and build quality – a reflection of Nixon Hire’s

higher spec modular range. Alongside it, on show will be Nixon Hire’s largest and most

powerful battery storage unit to date, designed to support larger sites with clean, reliable

power, as well as a fully refurbished 12' Smart Air Solar mobile welfare unit - rebuilt entirely

from existing materials.

Monitoring the setup behind the scenes will be a working replica of Nixon Hire’s Renewable

Energy Hub, a sophisticated control centre designed, configured and run by its in-house

Technical Support Team.

Pulse: the new customer portal

Visitors will be able to experience Pulse, Nixon Hire’s recently launched online customer portal

– the result of an 18-month, seven-figure investment. The browser-based platform gives

customers autonomous insight into energy use, carbon impact and cost performance across

their renewable energy equipment on hire. By replacing the manual collation and estimates

that have traditionally been the norm across the sector, Pulse enables teams to report quickly,

compare performance across locations and make more informed decisions about how

equipment is deployed and operated.

Brian Cornett, CEO of Nixon Hire, commented:

“Nixon Hire has supported customers across Scotland for more than 40 years, and ScotPlant

is an exciting opportunity to demonstrate the breadth of our offer there today. The opening of

our new Dundee Modular Buildings Centre of Excellence reflects our continued investment in

the region and our focus on delivering more sustainable, full-service site solutions closer to

where customers need them.

“We look forward to engaging with customers and industry stakeholders at ScotPlant and

discussing how Nixon Hire can support the changing needs of sustainable site projects across

Scotland.
