New machines ready to go out


Nixon’s stand at Scot Plant 2018


From its historical roots based in Newcastle–Upon–Tyne, Nixon Hire has expanded significantly, opening more and more facilities across England and Scotland. In total, there are fourteen Nixon Hire facilities strategically placed to serve the local hire markets employing over 460 personnel. Nixon Hire was awarded the accolade of ‘Company of the Year’ in 2014 (North East Business Awards) recognising the collective hard work and dedication of Nixon’s workforce and their positive impact on the hire industry as a whole. Volvo utility equipment, and more latterly, Volvo GPE machines have been a long-standing element to Nixon Hire’s equipment portfolio. The company is one the oldest Pel-Job and Volvo utility dealers in the country, having taken on the franchise back in 1988. Since 1999, Nixon Hire has


purchased over 1,195 Volvo compact and general purpose excavators accounting for £31.5m out of a total investment in plant and equipment of some £161.8m. The current fleet of Volvo machines totals 559 which is regularly being increased with older machines replaced each year. For example, 111 compact excavators and 20 GPE excavators were purchased in 2017 and Nixon Hire has already placed orders for 70 machines so far in 2018. The company runs a mix of EC15s, ECR25s, EC27s, EC55s, EC140s, EC220s and more recently has started to add the ECR58D and EC18D models. All the machines are distributed around Nixon Hire’s fourteen depots in England and Scotland.
