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.”
