Hewden product manager Garry Evans said: “Since the third quarter of last year, we have seen demand for our range of equipment rise steadily. This is, in part, driven by the preferred supplier status we now have with many of the country’s major contractors, which can require fast equipment turnaround and sees some of the most sought-after fleet on hire for long periods.”

“We studied market trends to determine the most popular products in our fleet and in turn, chose to invest in some of the latest plant technology available. This investment reflects our commitment to supplying modern, reliable and safe plant equipment across the UK and to ensure that we can continue to meet market demand at both a local and national level.”
