Organisers of the upcoming Executive Hire Show say their 19th edition is sold out, with 148 exhibitors and 25 newcomers. The event will take place on 11 & 12 February 2026 at the CBS Arena, Coventry.
In a statement organisers said, "While construction activity has continued to vary by sector and region through 2025, demand for hired equipment has increased in several parts of the market, particularly where infrastructure, energy and major earthmoving programmes are underway. In response, hire is increasingly being used as a strategic tool, helping contractors manage uncertainty, control capital exposure and remain flexible as programmes shift."
Against that backdrop, they say the show's Innovation Trail has taken on added significance. It brings together products that respond directly to the realities hire businesses and their customers are facing - from lower-emission working and safer sites, to cleaner processes and more efficient use of power, water and time. Positioned front and centre on the show floor, the Trail gives visitors the chance to get hands-on with new kit, supported by live demonstrations designed specifically for plant and tool hire.
The Innovation Trail was a key feature of the 2025 Executive Hire Show, highlighting practical developments in eco-friendly technologies and new product design across the plant, tool and equipment hire sectors. In 2026, it builds on that success, reflecting a market that is moving quickly from intent to action.
This year’s line-up includes electric and low-emission equipment, smarter site systems and cleaner working solutions.
