At Speedy, we’re proud to support businesses and communities across the UK with the widest range of tools, plant, specialist equipment and support services — everything for every job.

Working Hours

Start Time: 7:30am
Finish Time: 5:00pm

The Role

As a Hire Desk Controller, you’ll be at the heart of the depot — the first point of contact for many of our customers and a key link between our teams on the ground.

Building strong relationships is central to this role. You’ll manage the full hire process, from taking enquiries and processing orders through to coordinating delivery and collection.

Handling hire enquiries and processing customer orders
Coordinating with depot teams to ensure equipment availability
Communicating clearly with customers to manage expectations
Minimising delays and resolving issues proactively
Delivering a high standard of service that reflects our local reputation

This is a desk-based role, but very much team-oriented — collaboration and communication are key.

What We’re Looking For

Strong organisational skills
Clear and confident communication skills (written and verbal)
Ability to adapt in a busy depot environment
Willingness to learn and develop
Full UK driving licence
Experience within the hire industry or a similar sales/operational role
A commitment to supporting our ESG Strategy – Decade to Deliver

We’re looking for someone who takes pride in their work and understands the importance of reliability and service within a local community setting.

What We Provide

We’ll give you the tools and support you need to succeed:

Full on-the-job training
Dedicated product and systems training
Tailored development opportunities
Clear internal progression pathways
