JMJ Ecohire

What JMJ Ecohire does

JMJ EcoHire rents solar-powered, generator-free mobile welfare cabins to construction companies across Ireland. Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Thurles, Co. Tipperary, the company supplies towable units that combine canteen, office, drying room, and toilet facilities for on-site worker welfare, and positions itself as the first operator to introduce generator-free solar welfare cabins to the Irish market.

The product platform is branded GenFree and spans four cabin sizes (12FT, 16FT, 20FT, 24FT) across seven layout configurations. The underlying technical stack integrates 315W anti-vandal solar panels with vertical wall-mounted panels, an extendable roof tray, and dual 5.12kWh lithium-ion battery packs, enabling 24/7 operation without an on-board backup generator. A patented Waste Management Pro system harvests rainwater and recycles greywater, extending toilet service intervals from weekly to roughly three weeks. SOLARTrack provides 24/7 remote monitoring of energy production, cabin consumption, battery state, fuel levels (for hybrid sites), water and waste tank levels, with remote fault diagnostics and service planning. The cabins are built in stainless steel with a 25-year anti-corrosion warranty and approximately 97.2% end-of-life recyclability.

JMJ EcoHire operates a B2B hire (rental) model on multi-year contracts with full delivery, setup, servicing, and waste collection bundled in. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The GTM motion is direct sales with nationwide delivery across the Republic of Ireland and no third-party resellers. Leadership consists of three directors — Jack Ryan (Managing Director), Johnny Ryan (Director, founder of a long-running groundworks business), and Mary Ryan (Director/Office Manager) — with total headcount reported at 1-10 employees. Independent emissions and fuel-savings claims are validated by Carbon Footprint Limited, citing 8.4 tonnes CO2 reduction and 3,260 litres of fuel saved per cabin per year.

Broad incumbents

• Mobile Mini: UK provider of mobile storage and welfare unit solutions to construction and other industries. Comparable as a competitor in the mobile welfare unit rental space, though Mobile Mini's core focus is storage rather than welfare cabins.
• HSS Hire: UK-based tool and equipment hire company providing welfare units, site accommodation, and related construction site facilities. Comparable as a competitor in the welfare cabin rental space with broader scale across the UK and Ireland.
• Speedy Hire: UK-listed equipment rental company offering welfare cabins and site facilities among its broader range of construction equipment hire solutions. Comparable as a channel competitor for welfare cabin rentals in the UK/Ireland market, though Speedy's scale and broader portfolio dwarf JMJ EcoHire's niche focus.
• Portakabin: UK-based modular building specialist offering site accommodation and welfare facilities for construction and other sectors. Comparable as a welfare cabin hire provider, though Portakabin's wider product range and established scale differentiate it.
• Algeco: Global modular space and portable building provider with offsite constructed welfare and site accommodation solutions. Comparable in the modular welfare cabin rental space, with significantly broader geographic footprint and product portfolio.
• Sunbelt Rentals: UK subsidiary of Ashtead Group, one of the largest equipment rental companies globally, offering welfare units and site facilities as part of its broader industrial equipment rental portfolio. Comparable as a large-scale competitor in the welfare cabin rental market.
• Mabey Hire: UK construction equipment hire company providing site accommodation, welfare units, and temporary works solutions. Comparable as a UK welfare cabin hire provider with broader construction equipment portfolio.

Direct peers

• Site Equip: UK portable building hire company specializing in welfare units and site accommodation for construction projects. Direct peer in the welfare cabin rental category with similar business model and target customer base.
• Allspace: Ireland-based modular building and welfare unit hire company serving the Irish construction market. Directly comparable as a domestic Irish competitor in the welfare cabin rental space, though Allspace focuses on traditional diesel-powered units rather than solar.

Others

• Aggreko: Global temporary power generation specialist that supplies diesel generators to construction sites. While not a direct cabin rental competitor, Aggreko is the incumbent whose diesel generators JMJ EcoHire's solar cabins aim to displace, making it a key adjacent competitor to overcome.
