About Hire East

Hire East is the dedicated directory for service providers across East of England — a region stretching from the university city of Cambridge to the Norfolk Broads, from the Essex coast to the Hertfordshire commuter belt. This is a region of contrasts: world-leading tech and biotech clusters sit alongside some of England's most agricultural counties, and busy commuter towns border quiet fenland villages. Our directory helps residents and businesses across this varied landscape find reliable local operators who understand the specific needs of their area.

Our Mission

The East of England is one of the UK's fastest-growing regions, with the Cambridge tech corridor attracting international investment and Stansted driving a logistics boom. Yet outside these hotspots, many communities are genuinely rural, and finding a good local operator can mean relying on word of mouth or outdated directories. We created this platform to bridge that gap — giving the same quality of access to someone in a Suffolk village as someone in a Cambridge suburb.

We cover the full East of England region: Norfolk (Norwich, Great Yarmouth, King's Lynn), Suffolk (Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds, Lowestoft), Cambridgeshire (Cambridge, Peterborough, Huntingdon), Essex (Chelmsford, Colchester, Southend, Basildon), Hertfordshire (Watford, St Albans, Stevenage, Hertford) and Bedfordshire (Luton, Bedford). From the Fens to the coast, we have operators listed throughout.
