Executive Hire News: The Voice of the Hire Industry

Executive Hire News (EHN) has been the definitive voice of the plant and tool hire sector for more than 50 years. It is the leading authority for the industry, helping to shape agendas and bridge a rich publishing heritage with a dynamic, modern approach to news media.

Our Journey: From Print Heritage to Digital Innovation

Originally launched in December 1971 to support a rapidly developing hire sector, EHN has continued to evolve alongside the industry, offering essential updates to support the sector. After decades of delivering unmatched market analysis in print, EHN entered its next phase in 2026.

The final printed edition of the magazine was delivered in March/April of 2026 and from here, the publication has transitioned into a digital-first news operation. It is delivered as a continuous, real-time conversation, built to match the rapid speed of the modern hire industry.
