Mike Bryan, who was born in Hedon, launched Hedon Hire in May 1986 in a small workshop at George Street, Hedon. Total commitment to customer service coupled with a rigid observance of safety standards meant that the company expanded and rapidly outgrew its original premises and in August 1988 the business moved to its present, larger premises in Market Hill, Hedon.

Continuing observance of the initial high standards has enabled the company to be accepted by the Hire Association of Europe, which has in turn opened many further doors. The companies original business of small tool hire to the retail trade has now grown and takes in many larger contracts and customers across the industrial spectrum.

Hedon Hire's safety standards are second to none. Every item of equipment that is hired out has a full safety check and inspection. Operating instructions are also given and where necessary, demonstrations. Hire service labels are attached to all equipment and are signed by trained staff.

Hedon Hire are proud to be of service to BP Exploration Operating Company, the East Riding of Yorkshire Council, British Gas, Associated British Ports, National Rivers Authority and Yorkshire Water to mention but a few. In order to maintain a high service standard to these customers we have carefully selected suppliers to meet our high standards. Amongst these are Makita, Bosch, Unibore, Armeg and Bell Engineering. The Company now also carries agencies for Tool & Equipment Sales.
