It offers services in Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man. GAP Hire Solutions won a RoSPA Gold Award for Fleet Safety for the fourth consecutive year. It provided a complete Events package for the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games. It trialled a 3-tonne battery excavator with Morrison Construction.

GAP Hire Solutions and Morgan Sindall Infrastructure's ISA Plant Team spent five years embedding sustainable equipment solutions at Sellafield. It supplied Clancy with a battery Kubota U27-4E for onsite evaluation.

GAP Hire Solutions - Hull draws a divided response from those who have used its services in the city. More than one customer describes the staff as friendly and approachable, with praise for the team's helpful manner and the banter that accompanies a hire. Reviews time and again mention that the equipment does what is expected, with one noting that hiring from the branch delivers exactly what it promises. The service is described as excellent by more than one account, including during the covid crisis, when the team was thanked for keeping things running.

A point that comes up often is the inconsistency of communication. One customer reports chasing a booking three times over a week before being told the machine could not be supplied, despite completing account forms promptly. Another describes the branch as lacking direction and unclear in its handling of enquiries. The positive accounts focus on the staff and the reliability of the kit, while the critical ones centre on how requests are managed. The company operates as a hire solutions provider in Hull, serving both trade and private customers.
