Fareham-based business Nationwide Hire has become WowNow Hire. The company has 82 staff at its head office on Delta Business Park, with 9,000 sites across the UK, Ireland and Europe. It says the WowNow name reflects its focus on choice and service as well as its same-day or last-minute delivery. It is also tied with its future aspirations and distinguishes the brand from many others using Nationwide in their name, the business says. Chief executive Jonathan Holley said: “Changing our name makes perfect sense. “We still cover the entire United Kingdom and the new name amplifies what we are all about, our WowNow DNA.
A CONVOY of travellers caravans pulled into the Delta Business Park earlier today. They stopped in the car park of the old Intergraph building next to the Bridgemead branch of KFC on Great Western Way The last vehicle arrived at around 2pm. One witness said: “They have taken the place over. I can’t believe there are so many, all in brand new caravans, you would think they were going on holiday. “I had gone round there to one of the factory units and on my way out, they were all pulling in, I was shocked. “They will dump garbage everywhere, there are no toilet facilities so there’ll be sewage, and they’ll leave the area a wreck. It’s supposed to be turned into housing.
