Hosted at the Coventry Building Society Arena, the two-day event won the hearts of the equipment, plant and tool hire industry having taken place 14th - 15th February. 2024 marks the 17th annual Executive Hire Show and it's only getting better with age! This year's event featured 150 exhibitors, including 31 first-time companies, and the organisers were proud to announce that 2024 marked the highest number of attendees, surpassing last year's record-breaking figures. 

As for inspHire, it was fantastic to see a refreshing enthusiasm injected throughout the event. The atmosphere continued to buzz until the end of day two and the inspHire team were delighted to meet so many new faces in the industry, as well as catch-up with valued customers. 

Having recently announced new partnerships with Worldpay from FIS, having the face-to-face interactions at the show enabled the team to showcase how the Worldpay + inspHire Office Edition can offer smoother and faster payments, protection of profits and the ability to streamline business efficiencies.

In addition to this, inspHire launched its brand-new integration with what3words. By using the power of w3w, you can instantly alleviate all confusion and narrow down delivery/collection locations to a 3x3 squared geolocation - which is extremely useful for an industry where not all sites have confirmed postcodes or addresses. 

Stand F14 visitors also had the pleasure of seeing Phocas Software live in action, boasting the benefits of intuitive BI and financial reporting. For our customers who already make use of the reports and SmartViews within inspHire, Phocas can add an extra layer of clarity, giving you unprecedented access to your business information. Phocas can then bring your data to life with easy-to-digest charts and graphs that help you understand what you need to do in the moment to drive your business forward and achieve your goals.

The show wasn't all strictly business, inspHire's golf putting competition made its grand return for 2024! Congratulations to our winners... Day 1: Jordan Thompson from Lifting Gear UK, and Day 2: Milan Devogelaere from e-power. In addition, the team attended the Executive Hire Show's Passionate Hirer Awards and applauded the well deserved nominees and winners.
