HSS Hire, the national tool and equipment hire company, is celebrating the launch of two new ‘pop-up’ shops at the new £2.5bn Canary Wharf district development site, giving the 470 construction workers on the site instant access to a huge range of tools and equipment.
The multibillion pound complex in the Isle of Dogs, has been designed to provide a new residential led, mixed use and waterside community, scheduled for phased delivery commencing in 2019 and final completion in 2023.
HSS operates a service called HSS Onsite which provides large construction sites with a pop-up shop style branch where workers can access the tools and equipment that they need quickly saving them the time of having to leave the site and find their nearest branch.
HSS Hire has two HSS Onsite trading locations on the project, one on the south east corner of the site and another within the site’s welfare compound, which has been constructed in one of the underground car parks.
The two pop-up branches will offer expertise from skilled HSS Hire colleagues, fully trained on all equipment as well as ensuring availability of tools to tradesman at the drop of a hard hat.
Darran Reid, Project Manager at HSS Hire, said: “The Isle of Dogs is one of London’s most exciting places to live and work. In the last few years, it has been transformed from an industrial wasteland to a dazzling go-to district and the capital’s second financial centre.
“We’re really excited to be a part of this fantastic new development, which will be another great addition to the area and we’re ready to help with any advice or assistance on equipment hire.” 
The development will provide more than 3,200 new homes, nearly 2 million sq. ft. of high quality commercial office space, and a further 335,000 sq. ft. of shops, restaurants and community uses.
Dean Eves, Senior Project Manager at Canary Wharf Group plc said: “The new district of Canary Wharf development is a fantastic project to be a part of, and it’s really going to help this already thriving area of London to grow.
“We’re thrilled that HSS Hire is working with us during construction, and we look forward to having them on site over the coming years.”
Key suppliers, including POWERTOWER, shared a demonstration of the latest 3 core low-level access machinery; HSS Hire’s wide range of tool tethering equipment was also showcased.
HSS has more than 70 branches in Greater London which operate a click and collect service via www.HSS.com, guaranteeing local businesses next day availability on a huge range of items.
