We’re proud to say that 2023 has been defined by remarkable achievements for inspHire. As we bid farewell to the year, we thought we’d take the time to reflect on our progress as we continue our journey to empower rental businesses across the country.  

Since 1997, inspHire has gone from strength-to-strength in order to become a market-leader in the rental software space. How is this done? By designing powerful, innovative hire software solutions. But the real question is - how is this delivered to the global rental industry? Simple, by our brilliant people! Introducing Dane Evans, Senior Business Development Manager, and Jake Packard, Business Development Manager.

Here at inspHire, we pride ourselves on being customer focussed, taking into account our customer's individual needs from the outset. From sales to support, this is a joint effort across all  departments within our global business, but one integral stage for our customers is their implementation. From establishing objectives and milestones, right through to the day you go-live; our experienced Professional Services Group (PSG) will be on hand from start to finish.

In the blink of an eye, PLASA London has drawn its curtains for another year. PLASA continues to be one of our all-time favourite tradeshows to attend, and is the perfect chance to see what everyone in the AV, Lighting and Staging industry has been up to. And we can’t forget about the opportunity the show gives us to catch-up with our lovely customers and meet some new faces. Held at Olympia London over the course of three days, the show was a buzz of activity, illuminated by only the best and latest products on display.
