Established in 1969 by Gordon Anderson, GAP Hire Solutions is the UK’s largest independent hire company. With a number of specialist divisions and almost 200 locations across the country, we have everything you could possibly need from diggers and dumpers to portable toilets and tankers.
Over our 50+ years in operation, GAP has remained a family-owned and run business. This allows us to make decisions quickly, meaning we can provide solutions to our customers faster than our competitors. Our nationwide network of depots, with offerings from our specialist divisions, enables us to provide a one-stop-shop with fast availability across all products.
Whilst our business started in Scotland, we have since grown to offer full national coverage and you will be able to spot our GAP Vans making deliveries across the country. We can even provide services in Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man. GAP really is available wherever you need us.
