The company also reported an near 8% increase in underlying EBITDA to £22.5m in 2025, up from £20.9m in the previous year.

Underlying operating profit rose by 6% to £8.3m, and pre-tax profit, excluding exceptional items, increased by 54% to £5.4m, having previously sat at £3.5m in 2024.

In 2025, investment in growth was a key priority for Nixon Hire, with the company investing £18.3m in tangible assets during the year, including £13.4m in its hire fleet.

But in 2025, total statutory revenue sat at £91.3m, down from £108.3m in 2024. 

Brian Cornett, chief executive officer of Nixon Hire, said: “These results show that the strategy we set out is delivering. 

“We made a deliberate decision to reposition the business around the sustainable site solutions we believed our customers would  increasingly need, and we are now seeing that reflected in the growth of the ongoing business.

“We are continuing to invest in the fleet, technology and services behind that offer.”

Cornett added: “With the significant  reduction in debt since the year end, we now have even greater capacity to fund future growth and ensure our asset base stays ahead of demand as we continue to secure larger, more complex projects.

“Customers increasingly want more than equipment. They want a partner that understands their site  and can help them meet rising expectations around safety, sustainability and performance. That is the business we have built.”

Looking ahead in 2026, the company will be placing its attention on higher-output hybrid generators to support larger site projects, alongside further development of Nixon Hire’s digital services and customer data capacities.
