The Hire Awards of Excellence is happening on Saturday 12th April 2025 at Grosvenor House, London and will celebrate the amazing achievements of hire and supply companies across the UK’s plant, tool, equipment and event hire industry.

Recognition will also go to individuals and companies who have consistently stood out. There are 15 categories in total, covering everything from Website of the Year and Best Use of New Media, to Hire Industry Product of the Year and SafeHire Company of the Year (across four categories).

Crucial recognition is also given to outstanding individuals; Young Apprentice, Apprentice, Workshop Manager and Hire Manager of the Year and, new for 2025, the Health & Safety Champion of the Year.

Hire Association CEO Paul Gaze said, “The Awards provide a great opportunity to recognise new product innovation from suppliers, excellence in health and safety, high-quality services from hirers and most importantly to celebrate the people who make it happen.

“We’ve created a new category for 2025, the Health & Safety Champion, broadening the areas of business that the Hire Awards seeks to celebrate by recognising individuals or teams who go above and beyond to keep their colleagues safe in the workplace.”
