Hande was created to solve a problem faced by many growing, hands-on businesses: the lack of simple, reliable systems that support day-to-day operations without adding unnecessary complexity.
The company was founded by Nelson Reid, an experienced business owner who has spent years building and scaling a successful hire company within the construction and infrastructure sector. Under Nelson’s leadership, the business grew to become the largest independent supplier of temporary fencing solutions in the South East, supporting projects of all sizes across the region.
Through this growth, Nelson gained first-hand experience of the operational challenges that come with running a fast-moving business — managing jobs, assets, people, and paperwork while maintaining service quality and profitability. He saw how inefficient systems and manual processes could slow teams down, increase costs, and place unnecessary strain on business owners and their staff.
Recognising that existing software solutions were often overcomplicated or poorly suited to real-world operations, Nelson set out to create a better alternative.

Hande was created to solve a problem faced by many growing businesses, independent trades people and event professionals the lack of simple, reliable systems that support day to day operations all within one easy to use system.
Hande was founded by Nelson Reid, a experienced business owner who has spent years building and scaling a successful hire company within the events, construction, and film & tv sectors. Under Nelson’s leadership, the business grew to become the largest independent supplier of temporary fencing solutions in the South East, supporting high end projects of all sizes across the United Kingdom. As the business rapidly expanded, Nelson and he's team faced increasing operational pressures. managing equipment availability within the businesses inventory, tracking stock across multiple jobs, keeping up to date with invoices, scheduling staff, providing quotes fast, creating rams, keeping track of projects, and ensuring teams were scheduled accurately became critical to maintaining service standards.
Nelson searched for a all in one app based system that would allow him to clearly understand what equipment was in stock and where it was allocated. And support other day to day tasks like the creation of rams, creating fast quotes and invoices, tracking revenue and to ensure his equipment was never double booked. Recognising no system on the market ticked every box a business needed. Nelson set out to create an all in one app suitable for every business and its needs.
