The company was formed in 1996, by Kirk Stansfield on Leeds Road, Huddersfield. Initially known as Rapid Tool Hire, the shop focused on tool and equipment hire with a small stock of sale items.

In 2002 Kirk Stansfield joined forces with his friend Andrew Jones and opened a second shop in the village of Honley near Holmfirth. Kirk Stansfield opened another shop in 2007 in the village of Elland near [[Halifax]. Andrew jones built up the sales side of the business, which now accounts for half of the company's turnover. During the 2007 Recession the building industry was in decline and it was decided soon after by the owners to set up an internet site selling tools and equipment, this would give Rapid Hire Centres a larger customer base, and would save jobs. Rapid Tools Direct UK was formed by Kirk Stansfield and Andrew Jones in 2009. The company now services customers throughout the UK.
