We’re inviting all CEA members — whether you’re a regular or haven’t joined us before — to come along to two days that are relaxed, practical, and genuinely worth your time.
We’ll be kicking things off on Monday 24 March with the CEA Networking Dinner at San Carlo, Leicester. It’s an informal evening of good food, drinks, and conversation. No long speeches, no sales pitches — just a chance to catch up with others from across the industry in a laid-back setting. Spaces are limited, so early booking is recommended.
On Tuesday 25 March, join us for the CEA Members’ Forum, hosted by Trelleborg in Leicester. The Forum brings together senior figures from across the sector for a full afternoon of practical updates and straightforward insight into what’s happening now — and what’s coming next — in the UK and global construction equipment market.
You’ll hear from Off-Highway Research and KGP Powertrain on UK and global market trends, including equipment sales, imports and exports, production outlooks, emissions and fuels, and the impact of tariffs. The day also includes a technical and regulatory update, the latest news from the CEA, a welcome to new members, and a tour of Trelleborg’s production facility.
If you’ve not been involved with the CEA for a while — or you’ve never made it to a Forum before — this is a great place to start. Come for the dinner, stay for the Forum, and see what the CEA community has to offer. We’d really like to see some new faces.
