About us

Your local tool and plant hire company

Helpful Hirings is a family run business located just outside Thame. Established in 1963.

In the early 1990’s Helpful Hirings decided to move formally into the plant hire market. In line with the Company’s ongoing philosophy of quality rather than quantity, leading marque brands such as Kubota excavators and Thwaites dumpers were the initial acquisitions, quickly followed by Atlas Copco and Ingersoll Rand compressors, Niftylift access platforms and Bomag rollers.

In 2003 a new machinery store was erected to allow us to keep the majority of our equipment under cover.

In 2016 Helpful Hirings was taken over by the Vellacott family and has since grown year on year. In 2022 a new building was erected to help us keep up with the servicing and maintenance of hire equipment.

We now have a fleet of over 2,000 items of hire equipment ranging from hand tools to 14 tonne excavators and 120hp tractors.
