The service will be backed by Nixon’s depot network across England and Scotland, supporting Morgan Sindall projects across infrastructure, construction, fit out, housing and regeneration, including the energy, rail, water, nuclear, highways, aviation, healthcare and education sectors.

Nixon Hire joins Morgan Sindall’s long-established supplier network following a detailed assessment of its products and service capabilities, including three trial projects. It will support Morgan Sindall’s Net Zero ambitions and wider carbon reduction objectives.

To help deliver these objectives, Pulse, Nixon Hire’s customer portal, will give project teams access to real-time site performance data and automated carbon reporting, while its Renewable Power Hub will provide specialist technical support.

The Hub’s team remotely monitors generator usage and fuel levels, using this data to resolve potential issues early and advise on ways to improve efficiency and reduce fuel use and emissions.

Brian Cornett, CEO of Nixon Hire, commented, “We are delighted to have been selected as one of four accommodation suppliers to Morgan Sindall, one of the UK’s leading construction and infrastructure businesses.”

Tom Walker, group plant & accommodation manager at Morgan Sindall, added, “We’re pleased to welcome Nixon Hire into our Group accommodation supply chain. Their appointment further strengthens our supplier network and supports our ambition to continually raise standards, encourage innovation and provide our projects with high-quality welfare environments that support the safety, wellbeing and comfort of our people.”
