The Construction Equipment Association
The voice of the UK construction equipment market since 1942.
We support our members to achieve industry excellence through market and technical information and insights, networking, trade shows, exhibitions and events, and lobbying work with the UK and European Parliaments. We are represented in Brussels as active members of the Committee for European Construction Equipment. Our influence is felt worldwide through our technical, regulatory and international trade work. We represent construction equipment OEMs, distributors, attachments and components manufacturers, and service providers to the industry.

We're exhibiting at PlantWorx 2025
Join us at the UK’s largest live construction equipment event from 23-25 September 2025 at Newark Showground. See our latest innovations in action, meet the team, and discover how we’re helping businesses like yours stay ahead of the curve. Find us on Stand PD02 – we’d love to see you there.
