Nixon Hire named one of four accommodation suppliers to Morgan Sindall

Nixon Hire has secured a supplier agreement with Morgan Sindall that makes it one of four accommodation suppliers in the contractor's Accommodation Family, covering site accommodation, welfare and modular buildings.

The announcement, issued from Newcastle upon Tyne on 11 November 2026 and published on the Modular and Portable Building Association (MPBA) website, said the appointment followed a detailed assessment of Nixon Hire's products and services that included three trial projects.

The hire company said the service will be backed by its depot network across England and Scotland, and that the agreement comes with technical expertise and energy monitoring.

Brian Cornett, CEO of Nixon Hire, said: "We are delighted to have been selected as one of four accommodation suppliers to Morgan Sindall."

The service

Under the agreement, Nixon Hire's Pulse customer portal will give Morgan Sindall project teams access to real-time site performance data, the company said.

Alongside the portal, a team the release calls Nixon Hire's Renewable Power Hub will remotely monitor generator usage and fuel levels on site.

Tom Walker, Group Plant & Accommodation Manager at Morgan Sindall, said: "We're pleased to welcome Nixon Hire into our Group accommodation supply chain."

The client

The accommodation agreement sits within a wider supplier structure. According to Morgan Sindall, its Supply Chain Family has more than 423 members, who it says receive tailored training, on-site advice, access to contract information and dedicated relationship management teams.

The energy monitoring element of the deal lines up with the contractor's published carbon commitments. Morgan Sindall said it has committed, under science-based targets, to net zero across its own operations and value chain by 2045, with near-term targets to cut Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 60% and Scope 3 emissions by 42% by 2030.

The group reported revenue up 10% to more than £5bn in 2025, with adjusted profit before tax up 35% to £233m. It said it entered 2026 with a secured order book and preferred bidder work up 17% to £19.1bn.

The trade body

The MPBA, which published the announcement, was founded in 1938 and represents suppliers of modular and portable buildings and their supply chain.
