For more than 15-years, Briggs Equipment has been in successful partnership with Speedy Hire, a leading provider of tools, equipment, and plant hire services. The relationship has grown into a strong, strategic collaboration built on reliability, safety, and a shared commitment to sustainability.To deliver on its promise of safety, reliability, and sustainability, Speedy Hire relies on trusted suppliers like Briggs Equipment to provide modern, safe, and compliant machinery.
The Partnership
The collaboration between Speedy Hire and Briggs Equipment has been built on trust, consistency, and shared values. Over the past 15 years, Briggs has supplied Speedy with a full range of reliable machines and equipment. This has simplied procurement by ensuring everything can be sourced from one supplier. Operators have benefited from greater efficiency, thanks to parts commonality and user-friendly designs that reduce downtime and make equipment easier to handle.
Safety and Compliance
Safety is at the heart of Speedy Hire’s operations. The company recognises that one of the highest risks in its sector is the interaction between pedestrian and vehicle traffic, whether from commercial vehicles or material handling equipment. By working with Briggs Equipment, Speedy ensures its colleagues have access to the safest and most ergonomically designed fleet available. This approach not only protects staff but also ensures compliance with stringent industry standards.
Shared ESG Agenda
Speedy Hire and Briggs Equipment are also closely aligned in their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) priorities. Both organisations are committed to reducing carbon, investing in equipment that minimises both operational and embedded emissions. This, in turn, supports employee wellbeing with a cleaner working environment and reduced noise and air pollution. Together both businesses have focused on building a modern fleet that meets the highest safety and carbon standards, while supporting the long-term journey towards achieving net zero. This alignment makes collaboration straightforward and impactful, with regular conversations between the two companies ensuring that Speedy’s fleet continues to evolve in line with its ESG commitments. Briggs has played a vital role in supporting that journey over the past decade.

Outcomes
The partnership between Speedy Hire and Briggs Equipment has delivered significant benefits. Speedy’s colleagues now work in a safer environment, supported by a modern and compliant fleet. At the same time, the partnership has enabled the company to make real progress in reducing its carbon footprint and moving toward its net zero goals.
“It’s vitally important that we ensure we’re investing in the most modern fleet, meeting the highest standards from both a safety and carbon perspective. I think when you find an organisation whose ESG agenda is aligned with yours, where you’re working to reduce carbon and ultimately aiming for the same end goal of net zero – then finding a supplier like Briggs, operating in the same marketplace, makes for a really easy conversation.”
