TIP Group named Rental & Contract Hire Company of the Year

TIP Group has again been recognised for its contribution to the temperature-controlled transport sector, winning the ‘Rental & Contract Hire Company of the Year’ award for 2026 at the TCS&D Awards in Manchester.

The award is the second time TIP has received the accolade and reflects the company’s strong and growing presence within the temperature-controlled sector, supporting operators with flexible trailer rental and leasing solutions.

TIP works with businesses across the cold chain, from major fleets to specialist operators, providing refrigerated trailers alongside maintenance and repair support that is designed to help keep temperature-sensitive goods moving reliably and efficiently.

With operators facing increasing pressure to improve efficiency, manage costs and transition towards more sustainable transport solutions, flexible access to the right equipment is becoming increasingly important. TIP continues to invest in its temperature-controlled offering, helping customers access modern equipment without the capital commitment associated with outright ownership.

Winning the award for a second time provides further recognition of TIP’s commitment to the sector and to supporting customers as their operational requirements continue to evolve.
