B2B vehicle and plant hire platform Nexus has secured a BVCA Vision 2025 award, highlighting the company’s innovation in rental technology and consistent growth. The award recognises businesses backed by private capital that demonstrate excellence in competitiveness, innovation and sustainability.
Since receiving investment from Equistone Partners Europe in 2023, Leeds-based Nexus has expanded its technology offerings for UK van operators and fleet managers. The company’s Iris® platform now connects users with over 550,000 vehicles, including access to 50,000 HGVs and various commercial vehicles from more than 300 UK suppliers.
Beyond the Vision 2025 award, Nexus has been shortlisted for multiple industry recognitions including the ‘Innovation in Digital’ category at the Great British Fleet Awards and the ‘Commercial Fleet Company of the Year’ category at the Motor Trader Commercial Vehicle Awards. The company has also secured a place in the Top 100 of the Northern Tech Awards.
Scott Haddow, chief executive officer at Nexus, said: “This award is a testament to the strength of our team, the resilience of our business model, and the value of our partnerships with investors. 2024 was a year of transformation and growth for Nexus, and this recognition affirms that we’re on the right path.” Haddow added: “To also be shortlisted for a further three awards is an amazing achievement. As we look to the future, we remain committed to driving innovation, delivering sustainable mobility solutions, and continuing to lead the way in vehicle rental technology.”
