With World Cup fever sweeping the country, specialist equipment hire firm Hewden, is bringing the feel-good factor of the tournament to the construction site by introducing an exclusive range of England branded equipment available for hire throughout the UK.

The range of 'World Cup' themed equipment covers Hewden’s multiple product portfolio including plant, cranes, access, power and accommodation units. The new range was officially launched in London by Britain's Got Talent contestant and David Beckham lookalike, Andy Harmer.

The limited edition equipment is available for hire via Hewden’s designated 'footy website' www.hewden.co.uk/football. The site also provides a central portal for all the latest World Cup news, views, live scores and tournament updates. There is also an option to listen to all the matches live ensuring that workers never need miss a kick during the World Cup month.

Every construction site across the country will be talking football for the next few weeks and through our patriotic equipment Hewden and its customers will be able to show their support for our team in South Africa."

Hewden is also holding its own 5-a-side tournament this month, with over 20 of the construction industry’s biggest firms including Carillion and Balfour Beatty set to battle it out to be crowned Construction Site Soccer World Champions.
