The Construction Equipment Association

The voice of the UK construction equipment market since 1942.
The CEA Office will be closed from Friday 19 December 2025 to Tuesday 6 January 2026. We wish you all a very Merry Christmas.

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.
