Macclesfield, UK — 1 October 2025 — Nexus Marketplace, a new SaaS‑backed fulfilment platform for the live events industry, officially launches today. Designed to connect AV rental houses and production teams, Nexus Marketplace simplifies sub‑hire by combining AI‑powered search, real‑time inventory visibility, and end‑to‑end logistics in one seamless experience.
