Constructionshows
The Executive Hire Show has confirmed 30 first-time exhibitors for its 2027 event, bringing new names in construction machinery, tools, power generation, digital technology and professional services to the show’s 20th anniversary edition.
Returning to the CBS Arena, Coventry, on 10 and 11 February 2027, the Executive Hire Show will welcome an impressive range of new companies, giving visitors even more suppliers, products and services to explore across the two days.
Among the major construction equipment manufacturers exhibiting for the first time are Ammann UK, Hyundai UK, LiuGong Machinery UK and Yanmar Construction Equipment Europe. Together, they bring expertise in excavators, loaders, compact construction machinery and compaction equipment.
They are joined by Bay Lynx, a manufacturer of volumetric concrete mixers, and Redexim, which specialises in professional groundscare and turf maintenance machinery.
The new arrivals also include several specialist suppliers offering equipment and products for hire fleets.
Steve Vick International, a specialist in trenchless technology and equipment hire for the utilities sector, will make its show debut. The company supplies pipe cutting, cracking and handling equipment, along with specialist pipe coil trailers.
Mount Machinery brings excavator attachments, while Metex Tools develops construction and site tools. Blue Diamond supplies ground protection and safety matting, and Trade Survey specialises in laser measuring, detection and surveying equipment.
Vertical Supply Group brings expertise in work-at-height safety and access equipment, while Hobbyweld supplies rent-free welding and cutting gas cylinders. Lestar Welding specialises in battery-powered welding equipment, and Vickers Oil adds specialist lubricants to the exhibitor line-up.
Power generation and energy storage are another strong area among the newcomers. Italian generator manufacturer Energy Generating Sets joins Foxtheon Energy, which develops hybrid power and battery energy storage solutions, and Lemon Energy, a UK specialist in battery technology and power systems.
Digital technology and fleet management are also well represented, with several first-time exhibitors bringing solutions designed to help hire businesses manage equipment, reduce administration and improve efficiency.
Capja provides digital information capture and plant-hire management tools, while Matrix iQ specialises in vehicle and asset tracking. Powered by Rental offers hire management software, Simpala provides Salesforce-based business systems tailored to plant hire, and SmartEquip specialises in parts procurement and equipment maintenance information. Trackunit UK brings its construction equipment telematics and fleet management technology.
The show’s expanded professional services offering is also attracting new businesses. Badger, a marketing specialist working across construction, engineering and manufacturing, joins One Stop Networks, which provides business IT, connectivity and cybersecurity services.
The arrival of these companies reflects the breadth of today’s hire industry, where machinery and tools sit alongside developments in alternative power, digital systems and the services needed to run successful hire businesses.
Chris Moore, publishing and event director of the Executive Hire Show, said:
“It’s great to see so many companies joining us for the first time, particularly as we celebrate 20 years of the Executive Hire Show.
“We have some very well-known machinery manufacturers coming on board, alongside smaller specialist businesses offering products and services that are directly relevant to the hire industry.
“What’s particularly encouraging is the variety. From machines and attachments to battery power, telematics, software and professional services, there is a real mix of businesses joining us.
“For visitors, it means more opportunities to meet new suppliers, see what’s available and have conversations that could lead to new business. That’s what the Executive Hire Show has always been about.”
The 2027 event will also introduce a free-to-attend two-day conference programme, new networking opportunities and an increased focus on attracting direct purchasers from the construction, housebuilding and facilities management sectors.
With established manufacturers returning alongside 30 first-time exhibitors, the 20th anniversary edition is shaping up to offer visitors plenty of reasons to make the trip to Coventry.
The Executive Hire Show takes place on 10 and 11 February 2027 at the CBS Arena, Coventry.
