The recent rebranding of Nationwide Hire to WowNow Hire is the latest step on the company's journey of helping companies and organisations all over the UK to keep going by hiring plant, powered access, waste, tools, and accommodation solutions.

Founded in 1995 by Howard Piper, the company was set up in response to increased demand by shopfitters for help with hire in different and unfamiliar locations.

It prides itself on being able to offer guaranteed availability of over five million hire products, to anywhere at any time – something that has earnt the company enviable reviews from customers. Some customers, the company says, have been using its services for as many as 20 years.

The company puts strong emphasis on training and development for its employees, promising a programme of learning that helps people “play to their strengths”. The work environment at Nationwide Hire is “energetic” with “a great atmosphere”, with staff getting the chance to work in a new office environment. Benefits offered include health insurance and social events throughout the year.

Diversity is something the company is proud of, currently employing a workforce of 45% men and 55% women. Every member of staff, however, shares its values, which include delivering remarkable service, being determined to solve problems, being persistent and showing strength in working together.
