SW Hire - About Us

How it started

SW Hire was founded in 2003 by Simon Williams after he became aware there was a demand for the hire of a range of machinery within the agricultural sector. The aim was to provide customers with modern, safe, reliable machinery with the flexibility and affordability to meet the industries ever changing needs.

Over 20 years on, the company is respected within the industry as a trusted key provider of quality machinery to over 1,000 satisfied customers nationwide. This has been a result of SW Hire’s continual replacement and investment policy whilst still being focused on customers’ requirements.

The company also expanded into the construction sector in 2016 by tailoring their core values to meet the sector’s needs, and investing in machines suitable for the industries demands. SW Hire have experience supplying, groundwork, civil engineering, demolition, and construction projects.
