Sequel Returns to the Hire Awards of Excellence

We’re so excited to be sponsoring the Young Apprentice of the Year award again at this year’s Hire Awards of Excellence! After being part of this fantastic award last year, we couldn’t wait to return and continue celebrating the amazing talent coming through the hire industry. We’re proud to support the young people who are truly making their mark!

The Hire Awards of Excellence will take place on Saturday 12th April 2024 at the prestigious Grosvenor House, London – and we can’t wait to be a part of it once again. Our Managing Director, Pip Duma, will be presenting the award this year, stepping in for our Director, Ollie, who will be off celebrating his stag do (lucky him!). We’re sure Pip will do an amazing job handing out the award – and we’re hoping Ollie will make up for his absence with some unforgettable stag do stories when he returns! (Though perhaps not ones to share on stage.)

Megan Flory, our Client Success and Operations Manager, will also be attending, and both Pip and Megan are excited to reconnect with the faces they had the pleasure of meeting last year and hopefully meet some new ones this time around. The energy at the Hire Awards is always fantastic, and it’s a privilege to be part of such a vibrant and growing community.

This year has been a big one for us in the hire industry. We’ve worked with several new hire businesses, building bespoke online hire portals to meet their unique needs. But that's not all – behind the scenes, we've been gearing up for the launch of something we’re really excited about: Hire HQ.

Introducing

HIRE HQ

A smarter way to manage your equipment rental business. Designed for the hire industry, Hire HQ simplifies everything with a modern, subscription-based platform that replaces outdated, clunky systems. With easy setup and seamless integration into your existing BMS/ERP, it’s the future of hire management – and the best part? It’s almost ready. Are you?

Hire HQ is our new subscription-based model, designed for businesses looking to bridge the communication gap with their clients without a hefty price tag. It offers many of the core features of our bespoke portals, with the added flexibility to customise it to match your branding. We can't wait to chat with everyone about it during the evening – all while enjoying a fantastic dinner at the awards!

Speaking of big news, we’re also thrilled that our customer, Empire Hire, has been announced as a finalist for ‘Website of the Year’! Their online hire portal, built by Sequel, has been recognised for its innovation and user experience, and we couldn't be prouder. We’ll be rooting for them on the night and keeping everything crossed for a well-deserved win!

Finally, a big good luck to all those nominated this year. It’s incredible to see how our technology is helping businesses in the hire industry thrive, and we’re so proud to be part of their journeys.

We’re really looking forward to another fantastic Hire Awards night, and we can’t wait to see everyone there. Here’s to a great evening of celebration, success, and plenty of new connections!
